Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs

vA regular verb (also known as a weak verb) forms its past tense and past participle by adding -d or -ed (or in some cases -t) to the base form: “I finished the project.“

v An irregular verb (also known as a strong verb) doesn't form the past tense by adding -d or -ed: "Gus ate the wrapper on his candy bar."

Transitive Verbs and Intransitive Verbs

— Some verbs are followed by an object. These are called transitive verbs, such as: arrest, enjoy, do, avoid, force, get, give, grab, hit, like, pull, report, shock, tell, touch, want and warn.

— Some transitive verbs can have their object left out when the meaning is clear from the context.

vJohn  has smoked(cigarattes) since he was 10.

— Some verbs are not followed by an object. These are called intransitive verbs, such appear, go, fall, come, go, happen, matter, sleep, swim, and wait

— Some transitive verbs may be used intransitively to express a passive. Their subjects usually things rather than person.

Ø The books sold out (=were sold out) in a week

Ø The bread baked (=was baked) too long

Ø Such cars rent (=are rent)easily

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. Te examples of common linking verbs are appear, become, look, remain, seem, feel, taste, smell, sound

Ø The milk tastes sweet

Ø The rose smells good

Notes:

— If a verb can’t be followed by an object, it can’t be made passive

— "A better way to recognize the verb . . . is by its form, its -s and -ing ending; verbs also have an -ed and an -en form, although in the case of some irregular verbs these forms are not readily apparent. And every verb, without exception, can be marked by auxiliaries."
(Martha Kolln, Understanding English Grammar, 1998)

— Among the formal characteristics of English verbs are that they typically:

a. may be made past in meaning by suffixing -(e)d as in walked, opened, said;

b.  may be made negative by prefixing dis- as in disagree, disappear, dislike.
