Verb

Definition of Verb
A verb is an important part of a sentence describing an event, a mental / physical act or the existence of a state or state (exist, be). It comes from the Latin word verbum, which means “a word. “

A verb is an integral part of a predicate in which a thought cannot convey a complete idea. For example, in the sentence "Bailey went behind the candy counter and leaned on the cash register" (I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou), the predicate is nothing without his verbs underlined here.

Types of Verb
Action Verbs - These verbs express actions (Walking, eating, giving) or possessions (owning, having, etc.). There are two types of action verbs:
Transitive verbs - these always use direct objects, i.e. the noun receives the action of a verb.
Intransitive verbs - these never use direct or indirect objects.
Connecting verbs - these verbs show no action. Instead, they associate a subject with a noun or an adjective that describes or renames the subject. This adjective or noun is called "subject complement". "
Helping Verbs - These verbs are called" auxiliary verbs "and come before the linking of verbs or the subject's action and convey additional information about a possibility such as" can "and" could "and about time such as" has ", "have", "was", "were" and "have" etc.
Modal Verbs - These verbs are types of auxiliary or auxiliary verbs that express the possibility, ability, obligation or permission. could, should / should, can / could, will / would, must / must.
Static and dynamic verbs - These verbs show no action, but a state of being. For example, "Katy is feeling sick today" or "She has a fever." However, unlike static verbs, dynamic verbs show an action, process, or sensation. Example: “He's chasing a bus.”
Regular and Irregular Verbs - Regular verbs express past tense or past participle by adding -d. -ed or -t at the end of the verb. They are also known as "weak verbs". Irregular verbs, on the other hand, do not use common rules for verb forms. They generally do not have a predictable ending in -ed.
Phrasal verbs: These verbs do not exist as individual words, but instead use combinations of two or more words designed to create a different meaning than the original meaning of the verb. "Sally turned in her homework on time."
Examples of verbs in literature
Example # 1: Utopian for Beginners (by Joshua Foer)
“There are so many ways that speakers can see the world. look, spy or look with the eyes. Look, gape or gape. Look, observe or scrutinize ”.

In this example, the first sentence has a transitive verb with an object; however, the following sentences have intransitive verbs, as they have not employed any object of the subject.

Example # 2: Black Boy (by Richard Wright)
“I would throw words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words ... to create a sense of the hunger for life that gnaws at us all, to keep alive in our hearts a sense of the inexpressible human. ”

There are four types of verbs in this example; the modal verb "would", the regular verb "rang", the dynamic verbs "send, create, gnaw" and the static verb "keep".

Example no. 3: Stars Shine Down (by Sidney Sheldon)
"You're so flattering," Lara laughed ... "I'm too busy."
"How do you operate? How do you decide ..."
And they had reluctantly agreed.
"As you can see, gentlemen," Lara said, ...

This excerpt has perfectly employ intransitive verbs. All sentences have intransitive verbs that have no objects.

Example # 4: E.White (by E.White)
“Cars, skirting a green village, are like flies that have won the inner ear - they buzz, stop, pause, start… slow down, and the whole effect is a curiously unsettling nervous ringtone. "

Here, White used auxiliary verbs," are "," haben "and" ist "; and a main verb" won ". He also used a list of intransitive verbs that do not use any objects of the verbs.

Function of the verb
A verb is an essential one Part of a sentence, unlike other parts of speech, it changes form depending on the time and situation this is because they are used to indicate a specific action that has taken place, or is about to happen, or is about to happen. The most important role of a verb is in that it relates to time. It actually describes that something has happened, happened, or will happen in the past, present or future.
