The Verb 2
The Verb:
The Nature of Verb in General.

A verb is a word that shows action. A present tense verb shows action that
is happening now. A past tense verb shows action that has already
happened. A future time shows action that will happen. (Guardado, 2011)

Verb is a word which signifies to BE, to DO or to suffer: as, " am, rule,
am ruled.

Verbs are of three kinds; active, passive and neuter. They are also the
divided into regular, irregular, and modal.

A Verb Active expresses an action, and necessarily implies an agent, and
an object acted upon: as, to love: " love Penelope.

A Verb Passive expresses a passion, or a suffering, or the receiving of an
action; and necessarily implies an object acted upon, and an agent by
which an object upon: as, to be loved; "Penelope is loved by me.

A Verb Neuter expresses neither action nor passion, but being, or a state of
being: as, " am, sleep and sit.

The verb, as a part of speech; we have include everything, either expressly
or by necessary consequence, that is essential to its nature, and nothing
that is not essential to it. There are, however, some grammarians, who
consider assertion as the essence of the verb. (Murray, 1816, p. 107)

Verb: many sections of this book deal with verb that is necessary in the
implementations in some word that expresses action in it.
Examples:
Agreement of subject and verb nfinitive/-ing
Aspect Choice
Auxiliary verbs Modals
Be Negation
Clauses Numbers, singular and plural
Direct object Operators
Do Participle
Finite verb Predicate
Gerunds Principal past of
Have Verbs
ndirect Object Questions, direct (Maclin, 1994)




























The Verb 3

The Regular Verb
A Regular verb forms its past tense and past participle by adding d or
ed to it base form. (Mark Lester, 2010)
The regular verb is easier because its structure in past tense only write -ed.
Example:
Clean-cleaned, live-lived, paint-painted, study-studied
Simple past
cleaned my room yesterday.
Charlie studied engineering in college.

Past participle
Present perfect = have/has + past participle
have cleaned my room.
Tracy has lived in Miami for ten years.

Passive= be (is/ are/ were/ has been, etc.) + past participle
These rooms are cleaned every day.
My car has been repaired

rregular verbs

The simple past and past participle of regular verbs is not ed for
example:
Base form: make, break, cut
Simple past made, broke, cut
Past participle made, broken, cut

Sometimes the simple past participle past and past participle are the
same. For example:
Base form Make, find, buy, cut
Simple past
Past participle

Made, found, bough,
cut



























The Verb 4

made a cake yesterday. (Simple past)
have just made some coffee. (Past participle in the present perfect)
Butter is made from cream. (Past participle in the passive)

Sometimes the simple past and past participle are different. For example:

Base form: make, know, begin, and go
Simple past: broke, knew, begin, and went
Past participle: broken, known began and gone

Somebody broke this window last night. (Simple past)
Somebody has broken this window. (Past participle in the present perfect)
This window was broken last (past participle in the passive) (Maclin, 1994).

These classes of verb adopt any other termination, in that tense and
participle where to mark this distinction, it is common in the act of
participle verbs, to conjugate them and others. (Bartles, 1983)

Modal.

Can, could, may, might, shall, should, ought to will, would, and must
differ in form and meaning from other verbs. (The modal forms of
need and dare are used so rarely in the United State that they will
not be considered her.) Related verb phrase are be able to, have to,
had, better, used to, and be used to.

Forms and Construction of Modals

Modals:
Do not add-s in the third person singular present.
Have no-ing form.
Can show the future (except can in the sense of ability) and some
show the past by using adverbs
Can never be followed directly by another modal.
Must be followed by bare infinitives (simple forms) of other verbs in
verb phases. (Raimes, 1988)

making that the meaning according to the activity that it realized, it is
realizing or it will realize; this possibility a grammar structure in the correct
form in each statement when speaking, writing or interpretation. (Salguero,
2011)





























The Verb 7

Time, Tense, Aspect, Mood in the Verbs
Time.
Time is not the same thing as tense. The importance of the distinction
cannot be overestimated. Time is an element of our experience of reality.
We have which already noted that task of the grammarian is to collect and
sort examples which reveal patterns.
Time is divided into Past, Present and Future where expresses its
difference between tense as form in the speakers, write and listening.
Tense.
To linguistic tense is a technical term. t means that there is a morphological
change in the base form of the verb. A verb form which is made with an
auxiliary is not, in this technical meaning, a "tense.
n this technical sense, then, English verbs have only two, those
traditionally called the Present simple (go) and the past simple (went). All
others forms are made using auxiliaries, in particular the auxiliaries (be) and
(have).
Aspect.
n addition to the verb forms which a linguistic regards as tense, there are
many other forms in English. These other forms are made with auxiliaries:
Hes learning French.
Weve been there before.
You could have asked me first.
He must have been trying to ring you.

Mood.
Auxiliaries are used to make aspectual forms, but not all auxiliaries are
used for this purpose. Whole group in English, called the modal, which
allow the speaker to interpret the non-factual and non-temporal elements in
an event. (LEWS, 1987)
