 TYPES OF VERBS :

REGULAR VERBS
• A verb that forms its past tense & present
 participle by adding.

 –d or –ed

• Or in some cases –t to the base form (which

 is known as weak verb).
 IRREGULAR VERBS
 A verb that does not follow the
usual rules for verb forms
 Verbs in English are irregular if they
don't have a conventional -ed
ending (like asked or ended)
 Example:1. Throughout my career I
swam for form. Speed came as a
result.
 FINITE VERB
 Verbs which have the past or the present
If there is just one verb in a sentence, it is
finite. Finite verbs are sometimes called
tensed verbs.

 1.Drive a car. [1st person, singular, present
tense]

holiday
 Leaving home can be very  Nonfinite
traumatic
 It took courage to  Non Finite
continue

 AUXILARY VERBS
• Also called helping verbs. They have no
meaning on their own. They are
necessary for the grammatical
structure of a sentence, but they do not
tell us very much alone. We usually use
helping verbs with main verbs. They
"help" the main verb (which has the
real meaning).
 MODAL VERBS
 A modal verb (also modal, modal auxiliary
verb, modal auxiliary) is a type of
auxiliary verb that is used to indicate
modality – that is, likelihood, ability,
permission, and obligation.
 EXAMPLES
 Examples include the English verbs
can/could, may/might, must, will/would,
and shall/should.
 You shall not pass.
 You should stop that.
 She can really sing.
 That may be a problem
 Sam must go to school
TRANSITIVE VERBS
 Express an action directed toward a
person, a place, a thing, or an idea (a.k.a.,
nouns)
 The action passes from the doer (the
subject) to the receiver of the action.

 Transitive verbs can only be action verbs.

Linking verbs are NEVER transitive.
TRANSITIVE VERBS Ex:
• Derrick greeted the visitors.
Derrick greeted whom?

• When will Felicia paint her room?

Felicia will paint what?
INTRANSITIVE VERBS
• Express action without the use of
object.

• Intransitive verbs may be either

action or linking verbs.
 INTRANSITIVE VERBS Ex :
• The train stopped.
• The train stopped what?

• Last night we ate on the patio.

• We ate what?
