ENglish – VinglisH! |_3.1

Selecting the correct verb tense and conjugating verbs correctly is tricky in English. A verb is a word that is used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and it forms the main part of a sentence.

Verbs are a necessary component of all sentences. Verbs have two important functions: Some verbs put stalled subjects into motion while other verbs help to clarify the subjects in meaningful ways. Verbs carry the idea of being or action in the sentence.
The important thing to remember is that every subject in a sentence must have a verb. Otherwise, you will have written a fragment, a major writing error.

Often, prefixes and suffixes (affixes) will signify that a word is a verb. For example, the suffixes -ify, -ize, -ate, or -en usually signify that a word is a verb, as in typify, characterize, irrigate,and sweeten. Prefixes such as be-, de-, or en- may signify that a word is a verb, as in bestow, dethrone, and encourage.

Many words in English have more than one function. Sometimes a word is a noun, sometimes a verb, sometimes a modifier. As a result, you must often analyze the job a word is doing in the sentence.

Verbs in English have four basic parts:
Base
form
-ing
form
Past
tense
Past
participle
work
working
worked
Worked
play
playing
played
Played
listen
listening
listened

Most verbs have past tense and past participle in –ed (worked, played, listened). But many of the most frequent verbs are irregular.
