PRINCIPAL PARTS OF A VERB
(1) the simple form
|
English verbs have four principle forms or “parts”.
The simple form is
the form that is found in a dictionary. It is the base form with no endings
on it (no final –s, -ed, or –ing).
|
|
|
(2) the simple past
|
The simple past
form ends –ed for regular verbs. Most verbs are regular, but many
common verbs have irregular past forms. See the reference of irregular verbs
that follows in Chart 2-4
|
|
|
(3) the past participle
|
The past participle
also ends in –ed for regular verbs. Some verbs are irregular. It is in
perfect tenses (Chapter 7) and the passive (Chapter 12).
|
|
|
(4) the present participle
|
The present participle ends in –ing (for both regular and irregular verbs). It is
used in progressive tenses (e.g., the present progressive and the past
progressive).
