Action Verbs
These verbs talk about what the subject is doing in the sentence. Action Verbs are one of the most easily identifiable types of verbs. To recognize them, you simply have to look for the word in the sentence that answers the question What is the subject doing?
Rose is painting the kitchen walls. The subject here is Rose, and what is Rose doing? Rose is painting. Hencepainting is our action verb.
Linking Verbs These verbs are unlike other verbs as they do not tell anything about a subject themselves, instead Linking Verbs connect the subject to a noun or adjective that helps in describing or providing additional information about the subject. Those nouns or adjectives are called the subject complements. Lisa is fussy about food. Here we see the subject is Lisa and the linking verb is is which is connecting Lisa to the subject complement fussy about food which is giving additional information about Lisas preferences.
Regular Verbs Those verbs that form their past participle with d or ed are regular verbs. These verbs do not undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses. 1. If the verb ends with a vowel, only d is added. For example: PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE Share Shared Scare Scared Dare Dared 2. If the verb ends with a consonant, ed is added. For example: PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE Want Wanted Shout Shouted Kill Killed
Irregular Verbs Those verbs that undergo substantial changes when changing forms between tenses are irregular verbs. The changed forms of these verbs are often unrecognisably different from the originals.
