 Preface
“Verb” is the most important word of an English
sentence. It comes from the Latin word Verbum
meaning word. It denotes the action, tells or asserts
something about a person or thing. There cannot be a
sentence without a verb. The form of a verb changes as
the tense. There are four forms of the verb namely,
present, present participle, past tense and past
participle. There different kinds of verbs like regular
and irregular verb and transitive and intransitive verbs.
In learning any language, the tense is the most
important aspect of grammar and the verb is the most
important part in learning tenses.
In the book there is a compilation of many verbs in
alphabetical order with all the four forms of present,
present participle, past tense and past participle. Each
form is explained with a sentence for understanding the
usage of the said form. The form of the verb changes as
per the tenses and many times the spellings also
change. Like in the present participle tense the “ing”
form is used but if the verb ends with ‘e’ the ‘e’ is
removed and ‘ing’ added.
e.g: write-writing
Similarly, if the second last letter is a vowel i.e. ‘a, e,
i, o, u’, while adding ‘ing’ the last letter is doubled.
e.g. cut-cutting
but if the last letter is ‘y’, it will not be doubled.
e.g. play-playing
In the past tense and the past participle forms there are
regular and irregular verbs. A regular verb takes ‘ed’ in
the past tense and past participle.
e.g accept-accepted
An irregular verb changes the whole spelling in the
past tense and past participle and the spellings vary
from verb to verb.
e.g swim-swam-swum, buy-bought-bought, sing-sang-
sung
This book will be useful to understand the right use of
verbs and its different forms including the regular and
irregular forms with spellings and sentences. It will be
useful to students; aspirants of competitive exams,
professionals and of course the lovers of English
language.
