VERB

ü What is Verb ?

Ø  Verb is a word used to describe an action,state,of occurrence,and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence.

·         A verb expresses action or a state of being and tells (in active voice) what the subject of the clause is or does. A verb is necessary to make a complete statement.

ü Types of Verbs

1.      Verb Forms and Functions

·         What are auxiliary verbs?

Basically, auxiliary verbs are function words, a type of closed class which is constituted of words that have a grammatical function as opposed to content words, which are an open class of lexical words. An auxiliary verb is used to add functional or grammatical content to the information expressed by another verb, considered to be the main verb. Auxiliary verbs are also called helping verbs.

Examples:

·         We will be there in a minute.

·         Would you help me with this homework?

·         List of auxiliary verbs

This is a list of English auxiliary verbs:

·         be (am, are, is, was, were, being),can,could,do (did, does, doing),have (had, has, having),may,might,must,shall,should,will,would.

2.      Lexical Verbs

·         Definition of Lexical Verb

Lexical verb is also called as main verb or full verb. We can define it as “Lexical verb is any verb that is not an auxiliary verb (helping verb)”. The verb phrase used is a sentence is headed by the lexical verb.

For Example:

He laughed,They ran,She danced in public,He googled my question to know the answer.

3.      Dynamic Verbs and Stative Verbs

·         Dynamic

"Dynamic" is an adjective which means something is moving or changing. In English grammar a "dynamic verb" means that the verb describes an action rather than a state.Dynamic verbs are sometimes known as “action verbs”. “Joe is chasing the bus”

Examples of dynamic verbs:
- eat                 -walk            -sleep               -write

·         Stative

"Stative" is an adjective which describes something as having a state, or existing (this is a very uncommon adjective).
In English grammar a "stative verb" means that the verb describes a state rather than an action.
Stative verbs are sometimes known as "state verbs." 

"Kevin wants some ice-cream."

Examples of stative verbs:
-love                -hate                -like                 -prefer

4.    Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs

·         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. For example:

PRESENT TENSE	PAST TENSE
Go	Went
Run	Ran
Think	Thought

5.      Transitive Verbs and Intransitive Verbs

·         Transitive Verbs

Transitive verbs are action verbs that have an object to receive that action.

Here are some more examples of transitive verbs:

l  I baked some cookies,I rode the bicycle.

All of the verbs in the above sentences are transitive because an object is receiving the action of the verb.

·         Intransitive Verbs

Intransitive verbs are action verbs but unlike transitive verbs, they do not have an object receiving the action.

More examples of intransitive verbs:

l  I laughed,I cried.

In all of the above cases the subject is performing the action of the verb and nothing is receiving the action.

6.        Predicating or Linking Verbs

Predicating or linking verbs are verb of incomplete predication, it merely announces that the real predicate follows. The important word in complement is usually an adjective.

Examples:

·         Larry looks happy. (looks is a linking verb; happy is a complement that describes and identifies Larry, the subject)

·         List of linking verbs

This is a list of common linking verbs:

·         Appear,be,become,feel,get,grow,look,prove,remain,seem,smell,stay,sound,taste,turn.

Examples:

look:

• Nadia looked happy. (linking verb)
• Nadia looked at the window. (ordinary verb)

taste

• The food tastes delicious. (linking verb)
• They tasted the food. (ordinary verb)
