Verbs

Foundation beginner easy

Verbs express actions, events and states.

Foundation — The building blocks of English grammar.

Rules

1. Action verbs: run, write, eat. 2. State verbs: be, seem, know, love. 3. Main verbs carry meaning; helping (auxiliary) verbs form tenses: be, have, do, will. 4. Verbs change form for tense: go → went → gone. 5. Third-person singular adds -s in present simple: He goes.

Explanation

Every complete sentence needs a finite verb. Choose the correct verb form to match the subject and the tense.

हिंदी में

क्रिया कार्य या अवस्था दर्शाती है। कर्ता और काल के अनुसार क्रिया का रूप बदलता है, जैसे go → goes → went।
