Understanding Regular and Irregular Verbs
1. What are Verb Conjugations?
-
Present Tense:
- Regular Verbs: Add -s for he, she, or it. For example, "I walk" becomes "He walks."
- Irregular Verbs: These change forms. For instance, "I go" changes to "He goes."
-
Past Tense:
- Regular Verbs: Just add -ed. For example, "walk" turns into "walked."
- Irregular Verbs: These can be different. For example, "go" changes to "went."
-
Future Tense:
- Use "will" plus the base verb. Like saying "will walk" or "will go."
2. Matching Subjects and Verbs:
- Make sure the subject matches the verb. For example, say "They run," not "They runs."
3. Adding Descriptions:
- Use adjectives to describe things. For example, "happy boy."
- Use adverbs to explain actions. For example, "runs quickly."
4. Different Types of Sentences:
- Declarative: These tell you something. Like, "It is sunny."
- Interrogative: These ask questions. Such as, "Is it sunny?"
- Imperative: These give commands. For example, "Close the door."
- Exclamatory: These show strong feelings. Like saying, "What a lovely day!"
5. Connecting Ideas with Conjunctions:
- Use words like "and" or "but" to connect thoughts. For example, "I like tea and coffee."
