“What is Right Form of Verb in English Language?"

A verb is a word that shows an action, state or occurrence. The right form of a verb is determined by the subject and the tense of the sentence. The subject of the sentence can be singular or plural, and the tense can be past, present or future. Using the right form of the verb is important because it helps to communicate your ideas clearly and accurately. Here are some examples of how to use the right form of a verb:



 Subject-Verb Agreement:

In a sentence, the subject and verb must agree in number (singular or plural).

 

For example:

Incorrect: The cat chase the mice. (Subject: cat, Verb: chase)

Correct: The cat chases the mice. (Subject: cat, Verb: chases)

In the first example, the subject "cat" is singular, but the verb "chase" is plural. The correct form of the verb is "chases" to agree with the singular subject.

 

Verb Tense:

The tense of a verb tells us when the action takes place - in the past, present, or future. Using the right tense is important to make clear when the action occurred.

 

For example:

Incorrect: Yesterday, I eat pizza. (Verb: eat)

Correct: Yesterday, I ate pizza. (Verb: ate)

In the first example, the past tense verb "ate" should have been used instead of the present tense verb "eat" to describe the action that took place in the past.

 

Verb Forms:

Verbs have different forms depending on the tense and the situation. Some verbs have regular forms that follow a predictable pattern, while others have irregular forms that don't follow a set pattern.

 

For example:

1) Regular verb: walk (walks, walked, walking)

2) Irregular verb: go (goes, went, going)

 

Incorrect: She has went to the store. (Verb: went)

Correct: She has gone to the store. (Verb: gone)

In the first example, the past participle form "went" is incorrect. The correct past participle form of the irregular verb "go" is "gone."

 

In conclusion, using the right form of the verb is crucial to the accuracy and clarity of your writing or speech. It's important to pay attention to the subject-verb agreement, verb tense, and verb forms in order to convey your ideas effectively.
