Answer 2

Introduction

Every sentence has a subject and a main verb. Verbs describe what the subject is doing. To be able to show exactly what the subject does at any time, verbs have different forms and tenses. In order to speak and write English correctly, you must learn the various verb forms and tenses.

Learning Hint:

To use verbs accurately, learn the standard verb forms and tenses. Memorize common irregular verb forms that do not follow standard forms.

Verb Forms

Verbs have five forms:

Form Verb Example Irregular Verb Example

Infinitive

walk

run

Past tense

walked

ran

Past participle

walked

run

Present participle

walking

running

-s or -es form

walks

runs

The only verb with more than 5 forms is be

Past tense

--

The verb be also has 3 present tense forms (am, is, are) while all other verbs have one.

Infinitive Form

The infinitive form is the plain or dictionary form. It is used when the verb's action happens in the present and the subject is a plural noun or the pronouns I, we, you, or they:

I go to work.

You cook very well.

We live downtown.

They help me.

Past Tense Form

The past tense shows the verb's action happened in the past. It is usually made by adding -d or -ed to the infinitive. The past tense is formed differently for most irregular verbs:

We lived downtown.

They helped me.

I went to work. (Irregular verb)

Past Participle and Present Participle Form

The past participle is used with the verb have (have / has / had) to create the present and past perfect tenses. The past participle form is also used to modify nouns and pronouns. One example is the phrase sliced bread.

The past participle is usually the same as the past tense form. Only some irregular verbs have a past participle that is different than their past tense form.

We have lived downtown.

They have helped me.

I have gone to work. (Irregular verb)

The present participle is made by adding -ing to a verbs infinitive form:

Working

Buying

Eating

The present participle can modify nouns and pronouns. One example is the phrase running water. When used as a noun (example: smoking is bad), the present participle is known as a gerund. The present participle is also used to create the progressive tense.

-S Form

The -s form of a verb is made from the infinitive of the verb. This form is used when the verb's action is in the present and the subject is third-person singular. Third-person singular is a singular noun (examples: desk, John), or a singular indefinite pronoun (examples: everybody, someone), or the personal pronouns he / she / it.

How the -s form is made depends on the last letter of the verb:

Verb Ending

To Make Third Person Singular

Example

s

add -es

Pass - It passes

sh

add -es

Wish - Everyone wishes

ch

add -es

Watch - She watches

consonant + y

change y to i and add -es

Try - He tries

Any other letter

add -s

Drink - He drinks

Verb Types

Irregular Verbs

Many verbs do not follow the rules to make the different forms. They are called irregular verbs. No single rule explains how to make their past tense and past participle forms. The irregular verbs must be memorized. These are some of the common irregular verbs:
