I. What is a verb?
Verbs are sometimes described as "action words". This is partly true. Many verbs give the idea of action, of "doing" something. For example, words like run, fight, do and work all convey action.
But some verbs do not give the idea of action; they give the idea of existence, of state, of "being". For example, verbs like be, exist, seem and belong all convey state.

| state (Ram is English) |
We divide verbs into two broad classifications:
|
helping verbs (also called
"auxiliary verbs") These are verbs that have no real meaning. They are necessary for the grammatical structure of the sentence, but they do not tell us very much alone. For example, will, would, may are helping verbs. We usually use helping verbs with main verbs. They "help" the main verb. |
| main verbs
(also called "lexical verbs") These are verbs that really mean something, they tell us something. For example, love, make, work are main verbs. |
