Classification of Verbs:Finite & Non Finite Verbs.Principal or Main VerbsAuxiliary Verbs & ModalsTransitive & Intransitive VerbsRegular & Irregular
A finite verb is a verb which has tenses and changes according to person and number. Eg. a. I go to school. b. He goes to school. c. He went to school. d. You are going to school.A Non-finite verb does not have tenses and does not change according to person and number of the subject.
1.I want to play chess. (infinitives).2.He likes swimming. (gerund)3.Running fast, he fell down. (present participle)4.Having completed his work, he took rest. (perfect participle).5.Given a change, I can prove it. (Past participle)
Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that help the main verb. The auxiliary verbs have no existence without a main verb.
1.Sehwag is playing cricket. 2.I have been riding a car.3.The cat will have been killed by the dog.
Modals are special kind of auxiliary verbs. They are also called as Anomalous Verbs or defective verbs. They are “shall, should, will, would, must, can, could, may, might, ought (to), used (to), need, and dare. These are used to express the ‘mood’. (obligation,
ability, duty, probability, necessity, courage) of the speaker.
1.It may rain. (probability)2.I can do the work. (ability)3.You need not wear uniform on Sundays. (necessity)
A verb that shows an action which passes over from the subject to the object is Transitive Verb.
The word “transit” means to pass over. a. The boy flies a kite. Here ‘kite’ is the object of the verb ‘fly’. Transitive verbs always take an object with them. In order to find the object we ask the question ‘who’, ‘whom’, ‘what’. Eg. What does the boy fly? (a kite)
The verb that shows an action which does not pass over to an object is called Intransitive Verb. Eg. Birds fly in the sky.
Verbs showing state of being (position) and verbs of possession are always intransitive.
Eg. India is my country. We have a big house.
Regular (or weak) verbs form the past tense and past participle by adding ‘d’, ‘ed’ or ‘t’ to the present.
