Verbs Forms List
Verbs are essential parts of English grammar that show action or a state of being. Understanding the different verb forms can help you improve your English skills, making your communication clearer and more effective. Recognizing verbs is sometimes easy by looking at their position in a sentence. For instance, the suffixes -ify, -ize, -ate, or -en usually indicate that a word is a verb, just like in examples such as typifying, characterize, irrigate, and sweeten.
Understanding the Five Forms of Verbs
Verbs can be classified into five important forms in English. These forms include:
- The base form
- The present tense form (which may include agreement endings)
- The past tense form
- The present participle
