Correct Use of Verb

Practice Exercises

A verb may tell us –

1.What a person or thing does; as;
• He sings a song.
• The clock ticks.

2. What is done to a person or thing; as:
• The teacher scolded him.
• The window pane is broken.

3.What a person or thing is; as:
• The lion is dead.
• I feel sorry for what I did.

A verb often consists of more than one word; as;
• I have read the book.
• The ball has been lost 

3. Forms of Verbs:

• There are three forms of verb: Infinitive, Past Simple and Past Participle For example:

InfinitivePast SimplePast Participle
bewas/werebeen
blowblewblown
drinkdrankdrunk
feedfedfed
hanghunghung
knowknewknown
leadledled
teachtaughttaught

4.Regular and Irregular Verbs

Regular Verbs
• If a verb is regular, the Past Simple and Past Participle end in -ed; as:

Infinitive  cleanfinishuse point      stop carry
Past simplecleanedfinishedusedpointedstoppedcarried
Past participle 

Spelling tips:

1. If a word ends in the consonant -y (baby, carry, easy etc.)
y changes to i before the ending -ed, e.g. hurry – hurried; study – studied; apply – applied; try – tried, (a, e, i, o and u are vowel letters.
The other letters b, c, d, f, g etc. are consonant letters)

2. If a verb ends in -e, we add -d for the past of regular verbs; e.g. hope/hoped; smile/smiled; dance/danced and confuse/confused.

3. Sometimes a word ends in vowel + consonant, e.g. stop, plan, rub etc. In such cases before the endings –ed, we double the consonant at the end. So, p becomes pp, n becomes nn; as in: stop – stopped; plan – planned; rub – rubbed. 

1. When the past simple/past participle do not end in -ed (for example, I saw/ I have seen etc.) the verb is irregular.

• With some irregular verbs, all three forms (infinitive, past simple and past participle) are the same, for example hit:
• Don’t hit me. (infinitive)
• Somebody hit me when I went to market.
• I have never hit anybody in my life, (past participle – present perfect)
• Mohan was hit on the head by a stone, (past participle – passive)

2. With other irregular verbs, the past simple is the same as the past participle (but different from the infinitive). For example, tell – told:

• Can you tell me about Sharan?
• She told me to come back the next day. (past simple)
• Have you told anybody about changing your school? (past participle – present perfect)
• I was told to come back the next day (past participle – passive)

3. With other irregular verbs, all three forms are different, for example, wake – woke/woken:• I will wake you up. (infinitive)

• I woke up in the middle of the night, (past simple)
• The baby has woken up. (past participle – present perfect)
• I was woken up by a loud noise (past participle)

4. The following verbs can be regular or irregular:

bumburnedburnt 
dreamdreameddreamt 
leanleanedleant  
learnlearnedlearnt  
smellsmelledsmelt
spellspelledspelt
spillspilledspilt
spoilspoiledspoilt
