Verbs Are Action Words

Verbs are action words (sometimes described as doing words) that show

what the subject (a noun or pronoun) is doing They are a requirement of any

sentence in the English language

Verbs can be Passive or Active

An Active verb is a verb in an active sentence in which the subject performs

the verb An example of an active verb in an active sentence is I hit the dog

A Passive verb is a verb in a passive sentence In a passive sentence the

action is performed upon the subject An example of this is The dog was hit

by me The two sentences have the same denotative meaning but their

connotative meaning is quite different active verbs are much more powerful

and personal

There are two forms of passive voice He gave me the book =gt The book

was given to me or I was given the book The second form is preferred

English like many Germanic languages contains both strong (or irregular

they arent quite the same thing) and weak (regular) verbs Irregular verbs

are one of the more difficult aspects of learning English Each irregular verb

must be memorized because they are not often easy to identify otherwise

For a regular verb the changes in form are minimal

When talking about actions that took place in the past add ed to the

end of the verb root Eg walk becomes walked

When talking about actions that take place in the present add s to the

end of the verb root when the subject of the sentence is in the third

person (not yourself or the person to whom you are speaking)

When talking about actions that take place in the future add the word

will before the verb

To describe an action that takes place over a length of time add the

appropriate form of the verb to be before the verb and add ing to the

end of the verb root

To describe an action that has been completed change the verb root to

put it in the past tense (see the first point) and add the appropriate

form of the verb to have (note that you can have to have in any tense

you want but keep the main verb in the past) before the verb

Also note that you can combine the previous two points by putting the

appropriate form of to have before the past participle of to be (been)

and putting both of them before the verb

A Verb is a word that signifies to be to act or to be acted upon as I am I

rule I am ruled I love thou lovest he loves VERBS are so called from the

Latin Verbum a Word because the verb is that word which most essentially

contains what is said in any clause or sentence

An English verb has four CHIEF TERMS or PRINCIPAL PARTS ever

needful to be ascertained in the first place namely the Present the Preterit

the Imperfect Participle and the Perfect Participle The Present is that form

of the verb which is the root of all the rest the verb itself or that simple

term which we should look for in a dictionary as be act rule love defend

terminate

The Preterit is that simple form of the verb which denotes time past and

which is always connected with some noun or pronoun denoting the subject

of the assertion as I was I acted I ruled I loved I defended

The Imperfect Participle is that which ends commonly in ing and implies a

continuance of the being action or passion as being acting ruling loving

defending terminating

The Perfect Participle is that which ends commonly in ed or en and implies

a completion of the being action or passion as been acted ruled loved

Verbs are divided with respect to their form into four classes regular and

irregular redundant and defective

A regular verb is a verb that forms the preterit and the perfect participle by

assuming d or ed as love loved loving loved

An irregular verb is a verb that does not form the preterit and the perfect

participle by assuming d or ed as see saw seeing seen

A redundant verb is a verb that forms the preterit or the perfect participle in

two or more ways and so as to be both regular and irregular as thrive

thrived or throve thriving thrived or thriven

A defective verb is a verb that forms no participles and is used in but few of

the moods and tenses as beware ought quoth

Verbs are divided again with respect to their signification into four classes

active-transitive active-intransitive passive and neuter

An active-transitive verb is a verb that expresses an action which has some

person or thing for its object as

Cain slew Abel

Cassius loved Brutus

An active-intransitive verb is a verb that expresses an action which has no


John walks

Jesus wept

A passive verb is a verb that represents its subject or what the nominative

expresses as being acted upon as

I am compelled

Caesar was slain

A neuter verb is a verb that expresses neither action nor passion but simply

being or a state of being as

There was light

The babe sleeps

Moods

Moods are different forms of the verb each of which expresses the being

action or passion in some particular manner

There are five moods the Infinitive the Indicative the Potential the

Subjunctive and the Imperative

The Infinitive mood is that form of the verb which expresses the being

action or passion in an unlimited manner and without person or number

as

To die--to sleep--To sleep--perchance to dream

The Indicative mood is that form of the verb which simply indicates or

declares a thing as

I write

you know

or asks a question as

Do you know

Know ye not

The Potential mood is that form of the verb which expresses the power

liberty possibility or necessity of the being action or passion as

I can walk

He may ride

We must go

The Subjunctive mood is that form of the verb which represents the being

action or passion as conditional doubtful and contingent as

If thou go see that thou offend not

See thou do it not--Rev xix 10

God save the queen

It is a requirement that be done

Its high time you were in bed

If I were you

The Imperative mood is that form of the verb which is used in

commanding exhorting entreating or permitting as

Depart thou

Be comforted

Forgive me

Go in peace

[edit]

Tenses

Tenses are those modifications of the verb which distinguish time There are

six tenses the Present the Imperfect or Past the Perfect the Pluperfect the

First-future and the Second-future You could even say there are twelve

tenses because each of those comes in simple and in progressive forms

which have different meaning

The Present tense simple is that which expresses what now exists is normal

or correlated to senses It is used with adverbs like always generally

There is a house in New Orleans

I read a book every week

I hear a noise

The Present tense continuous is that which expresses what is happening

just now

I am reading a letter

The car is running at high speed

The Past tense simple is that which expresses what took place in time fully

past It is used with adverbs like yesterday last week (The past tense is

sometimes called Imperfect but this does not fit its meaning as can be seen

from the examples This name is derived from Latin where it was correct)

Last week I read several of Shaws novels

The Past tense continuous is that which expresses what was taking place

when (suddenly) something else occurred

I saw him yesterday and hailed him as he was passing

I was giving a presentation when the microphone broke

The Present perfect tense simple is that which expresses what has taken

place within some period of time not yet fully past or is still valid It is used

with adverbs like ever never today this week

I have read several of Shaws novels

I have seen him to-day something must have detained him

Have you ever tried fugu fish

The Present perfect tense continuous is that which which started in the

past and has not yet finished

Since I have been standing here five planes took off

The Pluperfect tense simple is that which expresses what had taken place

at some past time mentioned before something other happened

I had seen him when I met you

As soon as my car had been repaired I could continue my trip

The Pluperfect tense continuous is that which expresses what had started

before and was still going on when something else occurred

I had been listening to the radio when she dropped in

The First-future tense simple is that which expresses what will take place

hereafter

I shall see him again and I will inform him

The First-future tense continuous is that which expresses what will be

currently taking place at a certain time in future

I will be swimming in the sea by the time youll awake

The Second-future tense simple is that which expresses what will have

taken place at some future time mentioned

I shall have seen him by tomorrow noon

The Second-future tense continuous is that which expresses what will have

started at some time and will still be ongoing at some future time

mentioned

I will have been swimming in the sea for four hours by the time youll

awake tomorrow

[edit]

Voice

Voice of speech can be active or passive Principally in passive voice the

same tenses can be used as in active voice

He gave me the book

The book was given to me

I was given the book

There are however some things to note

They build a house

The house is built

Here active and passive do not really represent the same tense If for

example you describe a picture where people build a house the first

sentence is perfectly correct The second sentence however will be

interpreted as the static perfect of the sentence

The house has been built - it is built now

This is the house is now ready and not under construction So the correct

passive form is

The house is being built

Passive voice can be built quite formally by adhering to some rules You

will however not find normally all tenses as in active voice Formal rules

will lead you to monstrosities like the following you will certainly never

hear (already the active sentence is quite monstrous)

The speech will have been being held for four hours when finally youll

arrive

(The president will have been holding a speech for four hours when finally

youll arrive)

[edit]

Persons and numbers

The person and number of a verb are those modifications in which it agrees

with its subject or nominative

In each number there are three persons and in each person two numbers

thus

Singular 1st per I love 3d per He loves Plural 1 We love 2 You love 3

They love

Definitions universally applicable have already been given of all these

things it is therefore unnecessary to define them again in this place

Where the verb is varied the third person singular is regularly formed by

adding s or es as I see he sees I give he gives I go he goes I fly he flies

I vex he vexes I lose he loses

Where the verb is not varied to denote its person and number these

properties are inferred from its subject or nominative as If I love if he love

if we love if you love if they love

[edit]

The conjugation of verbs

The conjugation of a verb is a regular arrangement of its moods tenses

persons numbers and participles

There are four PRINCIPAL PARTS in the conjugation of every simple and

complete verb namely the Present the Preterit the Imperfect Participle

and the Perfect Participle A verb which wants any of these parts is called

defective such are most of the auxiliaries

An auxiliary is a short verb prefixed to one of the principal parts of an other

verb to express some particular mode and time of the being action or

passion The auxiliaries are do be have shall will may can and must

with their variations

These auxiliaries have distinct meanings and as signs of the future they are

interchanged thus

[edit]

Simply to express a future action or event--

Sing I shall he will Plur We shall you will they will

To express a promise command or threat--

Sing I will he shall Plur We will you shall they shall

Affirmatively as I write I do write or I am writing and so on

Negatively as I write not I do not write or I am not writing

Interrogatively as Write I Do I write or Am I writing

Interrogatively and negatively as Write I not Do I not write or Am I not

writing

[edit]

Simple form active or neuter

The simplest form of an English conjugation is that which makes the

present and imperfect tenses without auxiliaries but even in these

auxiliaries are required for the potential mood and are often preferred for

the indicative

[edit]

[edit]

Principal parts

Present Preterit Imperfect Perfect

Participle Participle

[edit]

Infinite mood

The infinitive mood is that form of the verb which expresses the being

action or passion in an unlimited manner and without person or number It

is used only in the present and perfect tenses

declares a thing or asks a question It is used in all the tenses

[edit]

present infinitive or radical verb except that the verb be has am in the

indicative

The simple form of the present tense is varied thus--

This tense may also be formed by prefixing the auxiliary do to the verb

thus

Singular I do love He does love Plural We do love You do love They do

love

[edit]

Imperfect tense

d or ed to the present but in others is formed variously

The simple form of the imperfect tense is varied thus--

thus

You will have loved They will have loved

[edit]

Potential mood

The potential mood is that form of the verb which expresses the power

liberty possibility or necessity of the being action or passion It is used in

the first four tenses but the potential imperfect is properly an aorist its time

is very indeterminate as

He would be devoid of sensibility were he not greatly satisfied--Lord

Kames El of Crit Vol i p 11

[edit]

Present tense

This tense prefixes the auxiliary may can or must to the radical verb thus

Singular I may love He may love Plural We may love You may love

radical verb thus

Singular I might love He might love Plural We might love You might

perfect participle thus

should have to the perfect participle thus

[edit]

Subjunctive mood

The subjunctive mood is that form of the verb which represents the being

action or passion as conditional doubtful or contingent This mood is

generally preceded by a conjunction as if that though lest unless except

But sometimes especially in poetry it is formed by a mere placing of the

verb before the nominative as Were I for If I were--Had he for If

he had--Fall we for If we fall--Knew they for If they knew It

does not vary its termination at all in the different persons It is used in the

present and sometimes in the imperfect tense rarely--and perhaps never

properly--in any other As this mood can be used only in a dependent clause

the time implied in its tenses is always relative and generally indefinite as

It shall be in eternal restless change Self-fed and self-consumd if this fail

The pillard firmament is rottenness--Milton Comus l 596

[edit]

Present tense

This tense is generally used to express some condition on which a future

action or event is affirmed It is therefore erroneously considered by some

grammarians as an elliptical form of the future

Singular If I love If He love Plural If we love If you love If they love

In this tense the auxiliary do is sometimes employed as

If thou do prosper my way--Genesis xxiv 42

If he do not utter it--Leviticus v 1

If he do but intimate his desire--Murrays Key p 207

If he do promise he will certainly perform--Ib p 208

An event which if it ever do occur must occur in some future period--

Hileys Gram (3d Ed Lond) p 89

If he do but promise thou art safe--Ib 89

Till old experience do attain To something like prophetic strain--

MILTON Il Penseroso

These examples if they are right prove the tense to be present and not

future as Hiley and some others suppose it to be

[edit]

Imperfect tense

This tense like the imperfect of the potential mood with which it is

frequently connected is properly an aorist or indefinite tense for it may

refer to time past present or future as

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood what further need

was there that an other priest should rise--Heb vii 11

They must be viewed exactly in the same light as if the intention to

purchase now existed--Murrays Parsing Exercises p 24

If it were possible they shall deceive the very elect--Matt xxiv 24

If the whole body were an eye where were the hearing--1 Corinthians

xii 17

If the thankful refrained it would be pain and grief to them--Atterbury

Singular If I loved If he loved Plural If we loved If you loved If they

loved

Modal verbs shall and Will

Date 02122004

Shall and will are defective verbs and have neither infinitives participle gerund nor

imperative ( menyra urdherore)

Shall is used in the first person singular and plural and will for the other persons to

express futurity without including anyonersquos intention

Example when shall I see you again

A week holiday will do you good

They will not find it so easy as they think

In American English as well in the English or Scotland and Ireland will is used for all

persons of the future tenses Shall is used is used to the first person to express

determination

Example I shall buy what I want

We shall do what we want

Shall is used in the second and third person to express the will command promise or

threat of the speaker Also it is used in the first person to ask after the will of the personrsquos

address

Example anyone found guilty of the robbery shall be shot at once

You shall have the book tomorrow

You have been lazy you shall not have any sweet

Shall is used after such a construction as I intend thathellip it has been said etc

Example we intend that this school shall be the best in the country

It has been decided that he shall be given the job

Will is used to express the will or contest of the subject (speaker) It is especially used in

this sense in interrogative and negative sentences and is mostly strong stress

Example came when you will Will you do me a favor

They have to abbey whether they will or not

In the examples where shall was used in the second or third person to express

determination or resolution ( det-percaktim vendim vendosmeri)

Example if you work hard you will have a holiday

The enemy shall not pass

He shall pay you what he owes you

Note that the determination is in the mind of the speaker but if the determination is not in

the mind of the speaker but is in the mind of the subject then will and shall is used

Then will strongly stress and the contracted form Irsquoll yoursquoll hersquoll etc are not used

Example George will not go without his coat

George shall go out without his coat

I will be obeyed that silly dog will close motorcars

Will is also used to express possibility and assumption (supozim)

Example that man with the umbrella will be the prime minister

It will be necessary to give further examples

Shall and will are also used to form the future perfect and future perfect continuous

tenses

Future perfect is formed from shall and will plus perfect infinitive This tense is used to

express an action that will be completed before a certain time or another action in the

future This tense is often associated with the preposition and by the construction by the

time

Example I shall have finished my work by five orsquoclock

The snow will be disappearing by the end of April

It is used to express duration up to a time in the future

When I have this school last week I should have tonight

Possibility and assumption ( supozim)

You will have heard that Irsquom going to America

The invitation will have been sent out by now

In time closes beginning with when the future perfect is not used the correct tense is

present perfect

Example I will repair your bicycle when I have finished the job

By the time you have read the book you will know all the questions

The future perfect continuous- is formed by verbs shall and will plus perfect infinitive of

to be plus present participle( percjellorja) of the verb required It is used to express the

duration of the action up to a certain time in the future

Example next Monday I shall have been staying in England for three years

In another monthrsquos time he will have been teaching in his school for twenty

years

Also note that you can combine the previous two points by putting the

appropriate form of to have before the past participle of to be (been)

and putting both of them before the verb

A Verb is a word that signifies to be to act or to be acted upon as I am I

rule I am ruled I love thou lovest he loves VERBS are so called from the

Latin Verbum a Word because the verb is that word which most essentially

contains what is said in any clause or sentence

An English verb has four CHIEF TERMS or PRINCIPAL PARTS ever

needful to be ascertained in the first place namely the Present the Preterit

the Imperfect Participle and the Perfect Participle The Present is that form

of the verb which is the root of all the rest the verb itself or that simple

term which we should look for in a dictionary as be act rule love defend

terminate

The Preterit is that simple form of the verb which denotes time past and

which is always connected with some noun or pronoun denoting the subject

of the assertion as I was I acted I ruled I loved I defended

The Imperfect Participle is that which ends commonly in ing and implies a

continuance of the being action or passion as being acting ruling loving

defending terminating

The Perfect Participle is that which ends commonly in ed or en and implies

a completion of the being action or passion as been acted ruled loved

Verbs are divided with respect to their form into four classes regular and

irregular redundant and defective

A regular verb is a verb that forms the preterit and the perfect participle by

assuming d or ed as love loved loving loved


participle by assuming d or ed as see saw seeing seen



thrived or throve thriving thrived or thriven







Cain slew Abel




John walks

Jesus wept



I am compelled

Caesar was slain



There was light
