Good day everyone!
Let us now have the verb. I know this will be easy for you to comprehend our topic. Aren't you excited? Let us begin...
VERB
Verb is a word expresses time while showing an action or condition or the fact that something exist. For example: Sasha threw the ball.
Action verb- is a verb that tells what action someone or something is performing.
*Some action verb represents mental action.
e.g The dancer will attempt a dancing leap.
Classification of Verbs
Linking verb- connects a word at or near the beginning of sentences with a word at or near at the end.
The difference between the two is that action verb doesn't make sense while linking verb, it make sense.
Intransitive verb- it has a subject and a verb. It often describe physical behavior or movement. Prepositional and adverbial phrase are often after intransitive verb.
(arrive, die, fall, go, sleep, smile, stay, crush)
Transitive verb- it has a subject, a verb and a direct object. The answer is the direct object.
(close, eat, open, play, sit, stand,walk)
e.g. Ken is playing volleyball.
She grows a plant in the garden. - Transitive verb
She grows up everyday. - Intransitive verb
She grows tall everyday. - Linking verb
Dynamic verb-expresses a wide range of actions that may be physical (to run), mental (ponder) or perceptual (to see).
-The progressive forms occur only with dynamic verbs, that is, with verbs that show qualities capable of change.
-It indicates an action, process, or sensation.
e.g. I bought a new guitar.
I am owning ten acres.
Stative verb- purely expresses a state in which there is no obvious action.
-It shows no qualities, not capable of change.
-(such as be,have, know,like, own and seem) describes a state, situation, or condition.
e.g. Now, I own a Gibson Explorer.
Finite verb- is a form of a verb that shows agreement with a subject and is marked for tense.
- It can stand alone by itself in a sentence.
e.g. We rob banks.
I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
* The reason finite verbs are so important is their unique ability to act as the sentence root. They can be used as the only verb in the sentence, whereas all the others have to depend on some other word, so finite verbs really stand out.
She forgot to google them.
* A nonfinite clause may serve as a subject or a complement ( to a verb,preposition or noun.)
walk- walked

Nonfinite verb- is a form of verb that does not show a distinction in tense and normally cannot stand alone as the main verb in a sentence.
- It rarely includes a subject, and the verb cannot be inflected for tense.
e.g. Seeing the ordinary as extraordinary is something we all like to do.She forgot to google them.
* A nonfinite clause may serve as a subject or a complement ( to a verb,preposition or noun.)

Regular verbs (also called weak verbs) form the past tense by adding -ed,-d, or -t to the base form or present tense form of the verb.
e.g. call - calledwalk- walked
Irregular verbs (also called strong verbs) form the past tense or the past participle (or both) in various ways but most often by changing the vowel of the present tense form.
e.g. give-gave
