MODAL VERBS - English Grammar for BODH App Online test
What is a VERB...?
A verb is one of the main parts of a sentence or question in English.
In fact, you can’t have a sentence or a question without a verb! That’s how important these “action” parts of speech are.
The verb signals an action, an occurrence, or a state of being. Whether mental, physical, or mechanical, verbs always express activity..
TYPES OF VERBS :
♦️Action Verbs♦️
Action verbs express specific actions, and are used any time you want to show action or discuss someone doing something.
♦️Transitive Verbs♦️
Transitive verbs are action verbs that always express doable activities. These verbs always have direct objects, meaning someone or something receives the action of the verb.
♦️Intransitive Verbs♦️
Intransitive verbs are action verbs that always express doable activities. No direct object follows an intransitive verb.
♦️Auxiliary Verbs♦️
Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verbs, and are used together with a main verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a question or negative.
♦️Stative Verbs♦️
Stative verbs can be recognized because they express a state rather than an action. They typically relate to thoughts, emotions, relationships, senses, states of being, and measurements.
♦️Modal Verbs♦️
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that are used to express abilities, possibilities, permissions, and obligations.
♦️Phrasal Verbs♦️
Phrasal verbs aren’t single words; instead, they are combinations of words that are used together to take on a different meaning to that of the original verb.
♦️Irregular Verbs♦️
Irregular verbs are those that don’t take on the regular spelling patterns of past simple and past participle verbs.
