Verb

Saturday, September 22, 2007 at 3:14 PM Comments
Definition of Verb : A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action ("bring", "read"), occurrence ("to decompose" (itself), "to glitter"), or a state of being ("exist", "live", "soak", "stand"). Depending on the language, a verb may vary in form according to many factors, possibly including its tense, aspect, mood and voice. It may also agree with the person, gender, and/or number of some of its arguments (what we usually call subject, object, etc.).

Verb is words that show an action :

Ronaldinho kicks the ball
I walk to school
My mom cooks for lunch

Verb explains when action is made :

(a) Present Tense
The present tense is the tense (form of a verb) that is often used to express :
* Action at the present time
* A state of being
* A habitual action
* An occurrence in the near future
* An action that occurred in the past and continues up to the present
Example : eat, sleep, study

(b) Continuous Tense
The continuous and progressive aspects are grammatical aspects that express incomplete action in progress at a specific time. The continuous aspect expresses the state of the subject that is continuing the action while the progressive aspect expresses the dynamic quality of actions that are in progress.
Example : eating, sleeping, studying

(c) Past Tense
The past tense is a verb tense expressing action, activity, state or being in the past.
Example : ate, slept, studied

(d) Future Tense
A future tense is a verb form that marks the event described by a verb as not having happened yet, but expected to in the future.
Example : I shall eat, He will sleep, They will study

(e) Perfect Tense
The perfect tenses are verb tenses showing actions completed at or before a specific time.
Example : has eaten, has slept, has studied
