Using this verb in a sentence

A verb shows an action or a state, and its form changes with the subject and the tense: he works, she worked, they have worked.
After can, will, must, should and might the verb never changes form — it stays in the V1 base form.
A linking verb (is, seems, become) takes a description instead of an object: She seems tired, not She seems a tired.
Check the verb forms table on this portal for the full V1 / V2 / V3 / -ing / -s set before you use it in a tense.
