Part of Speech-VERB AND ADVERB
 

VERB

Verbs are words that show an action (drink), occurrence (develop), or state of being (exist). Almost every sentence requires a verb. The basic form of a verb is known as its infinitive. The forms call, love, break, and go are all infinitive.

1. Transitive Verbs

Transitive verbs are action verbs that have an object to receive that action.

• She drinks water. (Object)
• He drove the car. (Object)

2. Intransitive Verb
Intransitive verbs are actions verbs but unlike transitive verbs, they do not have an object receiving the action.

• The sun shines.
• She is crying.

Some verbs like (cheer, sing, visit, trip) can be transitive or intransitive, depending on how they are used in a sentence. 

• He sang.
• He sang a song.
• Ali tripped. 
• Ali tripped Hussain. 

3. Dynamic/ Event Verbs
The verbs, in which the body movement is involved, are called dynamic or event verbs. These verbs show continued or progressive action on the part of the subject. Example of dynamic verbs are: act, build, complete, design, draw, gather, help, interview, justify, listen, negotiate, outline, perform, record, save, show, travel, uncover, value, write, zoom… 

• She was writing a letter.
• They are playing in the playground.

4. Stative Verbs
The verbs that express a state rather than an action. They usually show mental feelings, emotions, state of a person, place, relationships, sense and measurements.

• I believe in God.
• I am believing in God.
• It sounds like a great idea.
• It is sounding like a great idea.
• I feel your sadness.
• I am feeling your sadness.
• Please forgive him.

Some verbs like: verb to be, think, have and see can be both stative verbs and dynamic verbs depending on their meaning.  

• He is an intelligent teacher. (stative verb)
• He is teaching the students. (dynamic verb)

5. Perception/ Sensation Verbs
The verbs which show our five senses are called perception/ sensation verbs.

• I smell the flowers.
• He is listening to the radio.
• I feel great today.

6. Linking/Copular/Predicating Verbs
Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject. These verbs are usually followed by an adjective or a noun.
The following verbs are true linking verbs: any form of the verb be [am, is, are, was, were, has been, are being, might have been, etc.], become, and seem. These true linking verbs are always linking verbs. Then you have a list of verbs with multiple personalities: appear, feel, grow, look, prove, remain, smell, sound, taste, and turn. Sometimes these verbs are linking verbs; sometimes they are action verbs.

7. Phrasal/ Preposition Verbs
The verb which is formed by the combination of a preposition or adverbial particle is called Phrasal/prepositional verb.
Because a preposition always has an object, all prepositional verbs have direct objects.

• I believe in God.
• He is looking after the dog.
• They are talking about the issue.

8. Modal Auxiliary Verbs
Modal verbs are words like can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must, ought to etc. They are used with other verbs to express ideas such as possibility, prediction, speculation, deduction and necessity. Or modal verbs show different moods and attitudes of the speaker.

• You should work hard.
• The weather may be colder tomorrow.

9. Helping Verb/ Auxiliary Verbs
Auxiliary (or Helping) verbs are used together with a main verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a negative or question. The most common auxiliary verbs are: have, has, had, do, does, did and to be verbs.

• Have they completed the assignment?
• Ali is writing an e-mail to a client at the moment.

10. Hypothesis Verbs
These verbs are usually followed by subjunctives.  Here, we wish against the present facts in the present, and the formulas are given like;
1. Sub + wish + (that) + sub. + the past indefinite tense
2. Sub + wish + (that) + sub. + were + object
3. Sub + wish + (that) + sub. + had + object

• I wish that he helped me. (Means he does not help me)
• I wish that he were a good teacher. (Means he is not a good teacher)
• She wishes that I had a latest car. (Means I have not a latest car)

Here, we wish against the past facts in the present, and the formulas are given like;
1. Sub + wish + (that) + sub + the past perfect tense
2. Sub + wish + (that) + sub. + had been + object
3. Sub + wish + (that) + sub. + had had + object

• I wish that he had taken admission. (Means he did not take admission)
• I wish that I had been in London. (Means I was not in London)
• She wishes that I had had a bus. (Means I had not a bus)

11. Causative Verbs
In causative verbs we do not perform an action directly, but we get it done indirectly by someone else means by the second person. The formula will be changed according to the absence or presence of the second person. English has three true causative verbs: let, have, make, but there are other verbs such as cause, allow, help, enable, keep, hold, force, require and persuade indeed which are not causative verbs but similarly used as causative verbs.

• He has Nadir help him.

12. Regular and Irregular Verbs
Regular Verbs: Regular verbs are those verbs whose past tense and past participle (2nd and 3rd forms) are formed by adding “d” or “ed” to the end of the verb.

• Cook = cooked
• Play = played

Irregular Verbs: Irregular verbs are those verbs that do not take ‘ed’ ending for their past tense and past participle (2nd and 3rd forms). 

• Teach = taught
• Write = wrote = written
