WHAT IS A VERB?

Sunday, January 23, 2011


When we want to talk about something, we try to make sentences.
And every sentence in English, it must have a verb.

e.g.

- She eats pizza.
- They go to Bali.
- I am a student.
- She is beautiful.
- Father has written a letter.

Verb is divided into two types:

- Regular Verb

Every verb that it is just followed by -ed.
e.g.
Verb 1 : Work, Study, Play
Verb 2 : Worked, Studied, Played
Verb 3 : Worked, Studied, Played


- Irregular Verb

To know about Irregular Verb, we need to memorize it all because there is no formula or pattern to change the verb between verb 1 until verb 3.
e.g.
Verb 1 : Eat, Begin, Do, Get
Verb 2 : Ate, Began, Did, Got
Verb 3 : Eaten, Begun, Done, Gotten

According to teflpedia.com there are some 360 irregular verbs in total, only around 90 of these can be considered essential, including some of the most common, everyday verbs.

So, just try to memorize the common irregular verbs in English to make us be able to make some sentences when we want to speak.


Good Luck :)

WHAT IS A SUBJECT?

When we want to talk about something, we try to make sentences.
And every sentence in English, it must have a subject.


e.g.

I am a student.
Ita, Shinta and I ate pizza at a restaurant last night.
A beautiful lady with a cute dress is my sister.

NORMAL SENTENCE PATTERN IN ENGLISH

Subject + Verb + Complement + Modifier

*e.g.

Subject
I, we, you, they, he, she, it, father, Merry, *etc

Verb
Eat, study, play, etc

Complement
Burger, books, car, etc

Modifier

*Note :

The abbreviation comes from Latin language, it means "for example"

etc = et cetera
The abbreviation comes from Latin language, it means "other things, so on"
