Verb Full Form

What is a Verb From?

Mainly, verbs are used in sentences to represent the action done by a subject in English. There are five types of verbs. We will be discussing all of them in detail.

What's the verb form?

The verb form is like perfectly modifying a verb so that it can be used perfectly for showing the action done by a subject in the sentence.

There are five types of verbs, and they are as follows:

• Root verb

• Third-person singular present form of the verb

• Present participle

• Simple past

• Past participle.

Root verb with examples

When a verb is used in its original form without any change, then it can be called a root verb.The root verb is one of the basic verbs from which other verbs are formed in types of verbs, but it cannot be done for all; it can only be done for regular verbs. Mostly, the root verbs are used in simple present sentences. Let's look at some examples of root verbs.

Examples of Root Verbs:

• I love eating pizza with my family. (Root verb – love).

• I finish my laundry before 10 a.m. every day. (Root verb – finish)

• You are intelligent (Root verb – are).

The following verbs in the examples above, such as love, are, and finish, are in their original forms, thus these verbs are considered root verbs.

Third person singular present form with examples

When the sentence is in the simple present tense, the verb used in these sentences is in the third person singular present tense. We have to add "s"or "es" at the end of root verbs to get a third-person singular present form.

Some of the examples of

The following is the third person singular present form:

• Her father likes her daughter the most.

The root verb is "like," and the third person singular form is "likes."

• Shifa teaches Arabic to people who are not Arabs.

Root verb – "teach," Third person singular form – "teach."

• My mother cooks food daily

Root verb – cook; third-person singular form –” cooks.”

Present participle form of the verb with examples

If we add “ing” at the end of the root verb, then we will get the third type of verb, which is the present participle form of the verb. In most cases, if the root verb ends with the letter “e” then to convert the root verb to the present participle form of the verb, we remove the “'e” and put “ing” at the end of the root verb.

The following are some examples of the verb's present participle form:

• Read - Reading

• Run - Running

• Cook - Cooking

• Eat - Eating

• Learn - Learning

Simple past form of the verb with examples

When an action occurred in the past, we use the simple past form of the verb rather than representing it in a sentence. For forming these types of verbs from root verbs, we usually add “ed” at the end of the root verbs, but there are many irregular verbs that don't follow the same rule.

Some of the examples of the simple past form of the verb are as follows:

Regular verbs in the simple past form

• Play - Played

• Agree - Agreed

• Like - Liked

• Escape - Escaped

• Try - Tried

Irregular verb forms

• Arise - Arose

• Awake - Awoke

• Be - Was/Were

• Bear - Bore

• Become - Became

Past participle form of the verb with examples

When we want to represent the sentences in the perfect tense, the last type of verb, i.e., the past participle form of the verb, is used. The following are some examples of the verb's past participle form:
