VERB
verb ( verb ) is a function word to indicate the
action of the subject , showing events or circumstances . Verb is one of the
eight parts of speech .
English verbs are not always simple shape ( one word
) , but may be the result of a combination of phrases into phrasal verbs with
particle ( get in , make-up , read over ) .
Example:
“We buy some books to learn English verbs.”
In
this example, the action word is “to buy”. It tells us that the subject “we”,
that is the person who performs the action of the verb is “buying some books”.
The verb tense shows the time of the action or
state. Aspect shows whether the action or state is completed or not. Voice is
used to show relationships between the action and the people affected by it.
Mood shows the attitude of the speaker about the verb, whether it is a
declaration or an order. Verbs can be affected by person and number to show
agreement with the subject.
Most statements in speech and writing have a main
verb. These verbs are expressed in “tenses” which place everything in a point
in time. Verbs are conjugated (inflected) to reflect how they are used. There
are two general areas in which conjugation occurs; for person and for tense.
