Verb

a verb is a word that that expresses action or state about a person or a thing.

Types of Verbs

Action Verbs-
Action verbs express specific actions, and are used any time you want to show action or discuss someone doing something.

Transitive Verbs-
Transitive verbs are action verbs that always express doable activities. These verbs always have direct objects, meaning someone or something receives the action of the verb.

Intransitive Verbs-
Intransitive verbs are action verbs that always express doable activities. No direct object follows an intransitive verb.

Auxiliary Verbs-
Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verbs, and are used together with a main verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a question or negative.

Stative Verbs-
Stative verbs can be recognized because they express a state rather than an action. They typically relate to thoughts, emotions, relationships, senses, states of being, and measurements.

Modal Verbs-
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that are used to express abilities, possibilities, permissions, and obligations.

Phrasal Verbs-
Phrasal verbs aren’t single words; instead, they are combinations of words that are used together to take on a different meaning to that of the original verb.

Irregular Verbs-
Irregular verbs are those that don’t take on the regular spelling patterns of past simple and past participle verbs.

Keep in minD:

-when plural nouns explain specific amount, sum, distance, time, period & quantity as a whole then verb should be singular.

ex.  five kilometers is not a long distance.

-Use plural verbs with compound subjects that include 'and'.

ex. The dog and the cat are outside.

-Use singular verbs with uncountable nouns that follow an indefinite pronoun:

ex. All the paint is dried up.
