VERB

• Verbs are sometimes described as "action words.
• We divide verbs into two broad classifications
• Helping Verbs
• Main Verbs

21
VERB

• Main verbs have meaning on their own. There are
  thousands of main verbs, and we can classify them
  in several ways
• Transitive and intransitive verbs
• Linking verbs
• Dynamic and stative verbs
• Regular and irregular verbs

22
HELPING VERB

• Helping verbs have no meaning on their own. They
  are necessary for the grammatical structure of a
  sentence, but they do not tell us very much
  alone.
• be
• to make continuous tenses (He is watching TV.)
• to make the passive (Small fish are eaten by big
  fish.
• have
• to make perfect tenses (I have finished my
  homework.)
• do
• to make negatives (I do not like you.)
• to ask questions (Do you want some coffee?)
• to show emphasis (I do want you to pass your
  exam.)
• to stand for a main verb in some constructions
  (He speaks faster than she does.)

23
MODAL VERB

• We use modal helping verbs to "modify" the
  meaning of the main verb in some way. A modal
  helping verb expresses necessity or possibility,
  and changes the main verb in that sense. These
  are the modal verbs
• can, could
• may, might
• will, would,
• shall, should
• must
• ought to
