} A verb is used to describe an action done by someone or something, what they are or what happen to them.
} Verbs are classified into two groups:
1. Action verbs (transitive and intransitive )
2. Non-action verbs (‘be’ verbs and linking verbs)
ACTION VERBS
} An action verb is used to show to show what somebody or something does. For instance, eat, walk, jump, kick, run, or cry.
} The sentence structure will be written as follow:
The model pranced out of the room.
(the action verbs is pranced. It describes what the model did.)
TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS
} Action verbs can be classified into two categories, which are transitive and intransitive . A transitive verb requires an object, which comes after the verb.
} Examples:
Ø Irma carried a basket.
verb=carried
object=a basket
} An intransitive verbs does not require an object. A sentence with an intransitive verbs is complete without an object.
} Example:
Fahmi speaks fast.
verb=speaks
NON-ACTION VERBS
} The non-action verbs do not express any action. These verbs refer to physical characteristics and conditions. Non-action vers can be categorised into two groups which are ‘be’ verbs and linking verbs.
BE VERBS: AM, IS , ARE, WAS, WERE, BE, BEEN, BEING
} A ‘be’ verb normally comes after the subject in a sentence.
} Example:
Ø She is angry.
Ø They are angry.
Ø She was angry.
LINKING VERBS
} A linking verbs links the subject to what it said about the subject and connects it with a complement. Linking verbs are always intarnsitive. However, not all intransitive verbs are linking verbs. The following table shows a common linking verbs and their functions.
} Examples:
Ø Asyraf has many collections of luxurious cars.
Ø Liyana looks pretty.
Ø Lee seems happy.
REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS
} Verbs can be divided into regular and irregular verbs. The simple past and the past participle form of regular verbs are the same and both end in ‘-d, -ed, or –ied’. On the other hand, the transformation in forms of irregular verbs is unpredictable. Sometimes the verbs changes completely, sometimes there is ‘half’ a change and sometimes that is no change at all.
AUXILIARY VERBS
} Auxiliary or helping verbs have no meaning on themselves. We usually use auxiliary verbs with main verbs. Auxuliary verbs are put before the main verb to make different tenses, negatives and questions.
} There are 3 types of auxiliary verbs, which include ‘be’ verbs, verbs to ‘have’ , and verbs to ‘do’.
‘Be’ verbs(is, are, was, were)
} Examples
Ø Min is not walking.
Ø I am not walking.
Verbs to ‘have’(has, have, had)
} Examples
Ø She has eaten.
Ø They have eaten.
Verbs to ‘do’ (do, does, did)
• Examples
Ø The baby does not cry.
Ø The babies do not cry.
