VERB
A verb is an activity/action word. E.g; eat, sleep, run, learn…
A verb is also a state of being. E.g, am (I am being nice),
were (they were being nice).
You need a verb to make a complete statement. E.g, They sleep every night. Not… (They every night).
Verb features in different ways.:
1. As Main verbs
2. As Auxiliary verbs
3. As Active or Passive verb voices
1. Main verb:
A main verb can either be a Regular verb or Irregular verb.
Ø Regular verbs:
Their past forms have additions of the suffixes -‘d’, -‘ed’, or -‘ied’.
Examples:
Kick - kick + ed (kicked)
Try - tr + ied) (tried)
Ø Irregular verbs:
Their past forms have no addition of -d’, -ed’ or ied’ but rather have the words spellings changed in past form.
Examples:
Eat - ate
Sleep - slept
2. Auxiliary verb:
Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs. They help the main verb make better sense in a sentence.
They express state of being and so they are regarded as ‘being verbs’.
Auxiliary verbs can either be …
Being verbs. E.g, Is, am, was, are, were
Or
Modal verbs. E.g, have, has, ought, should, would, could etc.
3. Active and Passive Verbs

For PASSIVE VOICE,
i. the subject changes to the position of the object,
ii. auxiliaries are positioned before the main verb = AUX + MV
