Verbs

Definion verb.
In syntax a verb from the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word that conveys action, or a state ofbeing in most language , verbs are inflected to encode tense , aspect mood and voice . a verb may also agree with the person , gender, or number of some of its arguments such as its subject or object.

Verb classification:
We divide verb into two broad classifications:
1. Helping verbs
Imagine that a Stanger walks into your room and says.
I can
People must
The earth will
Do you understandanything? Has this person communicated anything to you? Probably not that’s because these verbs are helping verbs and have no meaning on their own. They are necessary for the grammatical structure of the sentences. But they do not tell us very us very much alone. We usually use helping verbs with main verbs. They “help” the main verbs.
2. Main verbs

Now imagine that the same stranger walks intoyour room and says?

I teach

People eat

The earth rotates

Do you understand something? Has this person communicated something to you? Probably yes! Not a lot, but something. That’s because these are main verbs and have meaning on their own. They tell us something of course, there are to usands of main verbs.
HELPING VERB
Helping verbs have no meaning on their own. They are necessary for thegrammatical structure of a sentence, but they do not tell us very much alone. We usually use helping verbs with main verbs. They "help" the main verb (which has the real meaning). There are only about 15 helping verbs in English, and we divide them into two basic groups:
Primary helping verbs (3 verbs)
These are the verbs be, do, and have. Note that we can use these three verbs as helping verbs or asmain verbs.
We use them in the following cases:
* be
* to make continuous tenses (He is watching TV.)
* to make the passive (Small fish are eaten by big fish.)

* have
* to make perfect tenses (I have finished my homework.)

* do
* to make negatives (I do not like you.)
* to ask questions (Do you want some coffee?)
* to show emphasis (I do want you topass your exam.)
* to stand for a main verb in some constructions (He speaks faster than she does.)
Modal helping verbs (10 verbs)
We use modal helping verbs to "modify" the meaning of the main verb in some way. A modal helping verb expresses necessity or possibility, and changes the main verb in that sense. These are the modal verbs:
* can, could
* may, might
* will, would,
*shall, should
* must
* ought to
Here are examples using modal verbs:
* I can't speak Chinese.
* John may arrive late.
* Would you like a cup of coffee?
* You should see a doctor.
* I really must go now.
MAIN VERBS
Main verbs have meaning on their own. There are thousands of main verbs, and we can classify them in several ways:
Transitive and intransitive verbs
A transitive verbtakes a direct object: Somebody killed the President. An intransitive verb does not have a direct object: He died. Many verbs, like speak, can be transitive or intransitive. Look at these examples:

transitive:
* I saw an elephant.
* We are watching TV.
* He speaks English.
intransitive:
* He has arrived.
* John goes to school.
* She speaks fast.
Linking verbs
A linking verb doesnot have much meaning in itself. It "links" the subject to what is said about the subject. Usually, a linking verb shows equality (=) or a change to a different state or place (>). Linking verbs are always intransitive (but not all intransitive verbs are linking verbs).
* Mary is a teacher. (mary = teacher)
* Tara is beautiful. (tara = beautiful)
* That sounds interesting. (that =...
