Verbs in English?

Verbs, in theory, are pretty straightforward. But, not everybody would be able to provide a definition, even if they know
how to use them within a sentence. There’s also a tendency amongst people to stick to certain verbs that they know, and
pushing themselves to use new ones becomes a bit of a challenge. In the interest of giving you some variety, we’ll take a
look at what exactly a verb is, we’ll use some examples for you to see how they function as part of a sentence, and we’ll

provide you with some lists of verbs by different categories so you can find some that might help you mix things up a little
in your writing.

A verb is a word that shows action, occurrence, or a state of being. When written with the particle ‘to’ the verb is in its
infinitive form. This is where you would write it like this:

To bake
To clean
To cook
To sing

There are many more verbs of course, but the above list shows you what a verb looks like in its infinitive form, making it
slightly easier for you to identify whether or not a word in a sentence is a verb. Remember, a verb should show that
something is happening, because an action is taking place in some way or another. Many people when first learning about
verbs simply refer to them as ‘doing words’, because they always show that something has been done, is being done, or
will be done in the future (depending on the tense that you are writing in).

Verb Examples
Let’s look at the examples of the verbs above in a sentence so you can see how they might work. We’ll show them in
different tenses too so you can see how they would need to be changed slightly to make sense.

Verb Examples
290 in the Simple Tenses
I bake everyday – here the sentence works as a simple present tense sentence. Let’s change it to past.
I baked everyday – changing it to past simple tense means we say ‘baked’ not ‘bake’. This shows that ‘I’ used to
bake everyday, but don’t any longer.
I will bake everyday – again, changing to the future means you need the word ‘will’ between the subject ‘I’ and the
verb ‘bake’. There are other tenses that aren’t simple, but we couldn’t possibly explain each one thoroughly here,

but take a look at some more examples below and notice the changes that have been made for yourself. We’ll
provide a brief explanation to help you slightly.

Examples of Verbs in the Continuous Tenses

Throughout each of these next three sections, the past tense version will be written on top, the middle will be present
tense, and the future tense will be at the bottom. So that in this case, the top one is written in the past continuous tense,
the middle in the present continuous tense, and the third in the future continuous tense. It will follow the same pattern in
the following two sections, but continuous will be replaced with ‘perfect’ and ‘perfect continuous’ respectively.

The easiest way to remember continuous tense, is that it’s referring to a verb that was happening over time, is still
happening now, or will be happening in the future. Take a look at the examples below and see how the sentences change
to show what is happening and how the verb looks different from its infinitive form:

I was cleaning when you arrived.

I am cleaning right now.
I will be cleaning when you get here.

Verb Examples in the Perfect Tenses

The best way to remember the perfect tense, is that it is referring to something that was completed, has just been
completed, or will be completed in the future. Again notice how the verb looks different this time compared to its infinitive
form, and how the surrounding words are different to accommodate the tense:
290

I had cooked everything when you arrived.

I have cooked everything.
I will have cooked everything when you arrive.

Verbs Examples in the Perfect Continuous Tenses

3/4/22, 2:47 PM 1000+ Most Common English Verbs List with Useful Examples • 7ESL

The simplest way to remember the perfect continuous tense is that it’s the previous two combined. So, it refers to
something that was happening but has recently been completed, something that is happening now but will soon stop, and
something that will happen and then be completed. Take a look below:

I had been singing for an hour when you arrived.

I have been singing for an hour.
I will have been singing for an hour when you arrive.

List of Verbs
Now that we’ve taken a look at verbs, and all the possible tenses that you can write them in for you to think about, we’re
going to provide you with some lists of verbs to help you vary your vocabulary a little bit.

In English grammar, verbs are one of the nine parts of speech. A verb is a word or group of words that describes an action,
experience or expresses a state of being.

Participles, Gerunds & Infinitives

The three verbals— gerunds, infinitives, and participles—are formed from verbs, but are never used alone as action words
in sentences. Instead, verbals function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. These verbals are important in phrases.

Participles

A participle is a verbal that is used as an adjective and most often ends in -ing or -ed. They function as adjectives, thus
participles modify nouns or pronouns.

List of Verbs Videos

Verbs are relatively easy to understand, but the key to using them successfully in sentences is being aware of the tense.
290
The best way to combat this is by reading the sentence aloud. It’s incredibly easy to pick up issues with tenses when you
hear it rather than read it. Remember, you can always look back here for more information about how verbs change in
tenses to give you an idea about what changes you might need to make to your sentence for it to make sense. And of
course, our list of verbs will be here for you to look over for new ideas about which verbs to use in different contexts or for
different grammatical functions.
