What is a verb? What are the categories? Verbs are used to describe the state of an action. According to its function in the entire sentence, it can be divided into real-sense verbs, -type verbs , auxiliary verbs and -modal verbs . In addition, there are non-predicate verbs and verb phrases .
1. The real meaning verb
has a verb with actual meaning, such as run-run. The true meaning verbs can be further subdivided into transitive verbs and intransitive verbs . The transitive verbs that must be followed by the object are transitive verbs, such as I love you. The transitive verbs that must be followed by the object you must be followed by the transitive verbs to ensure the integrity of the sentence. However, the meaning of I can fly. The intransitive verb fly itself is complete, so there is no need to follow the object.
2. It is the verb
to assist the subject. It has a word meaning, but it cannot be used as a predicate alone. It must be followed by a predicate to form a descriptive structure, which can explain the status, nature, characteristics, etc. of the subject. Common verbs include be (am/is/are), seem, turn, become, etc., for example: I am happy. The verb am is followed by the verb am, indicating that the subject I is in a very happy state.
3.Auxiliary verb
assists the main verb to form a predicate. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tense and voice. Auxiliary verbs have only grammatical meaning, no vocabulary meaning, and cannot be used as predicates alone. The most commonly used ones are: be, have, do, does, did, has, shall, will, should, would, etc. For example, I will go there. The auxiliary verb will assist the main verb go, together forming a predicate.
A. Usage of be
be + present participle, indicating progressive tenses, example: I am reading book. I am reading book.
be + Past participle, representing passive voice , example: The window was broken by Mike. The window was broken by Tom.
be + verb infinitive, indicating the following content:
a. It indicates the recent and future plans, such as: He is to go to New York next month. He is going to New York next month. (This usage can also be said to be a future tense expression.)
b. Indicates a command, example: You are to explain it. You need to explain.
c. For comments, example: How am I to answer her? How should I reply to her?
d. To express an appointment and agreement, example: We are to meet at the school gate. We gathered at the school gate.
B. Usage of have
have + past participle, indicating that complete tense , example: He has left for Paris. He has gone to Paris.
have + been + present participle, indicating that completion is in progress, example: I have been studying Math for ten years.
I have been studying mathematics for ten years.
have+been + past participle, representing the complete passive voice, example: English has been taught in Japan for many years.
C. The usage of do
constitutes general question sentences, example: Do you want to go home?
do + not constitutes negative sentences, example: I do not want to sleep.
constitutes negative imperative sentences, example: Don't go there. Note that the negative imperative sentence only uses do, not did and does.
Strengthen the tone of the verb before the prototype, example: I do miss you. I really miss you.
can also be used in flip-up sentence , example: Never did he hear of such a thing. He has never heard of such a thing. Adverbs that guide such inverted sentences include never, seldom, rarely, little, only, so, well, etc.
4. Modal verb
Modal verbs itself has a certain meaning and a word that represents the tone. However, it cannot be used as a predicate independently, and can only form a predicate together with the verb prototype.Modal verbs are used in front of action verbs to represent the speaker's view or subjective idea of this action or state. Although there are not many modal verbs, they are widely used, mainly including the following: can (can), may (might), must, need, ought to, dare (dared), shall (should), will (would)
5. phrase verb
verb plus prepositions, adverbs or other words. For example: Turn on the light. The verb turns and prepositions on form a phrase verb.
phrase verbs are basically the following:
A. Verb + preposition, such as: turn on;
B. Verb + adverb, such as: look straight;
C. Verb + adverb + preposition, such as: look forward to.
6. Non-predicate verb
acts as a verb form in a sentence that is a sentence component other than a predicate.
