This chapter talks about choosing the correct type of verbs and the countless verbs that we have in the English language. The English language has 5 variations for every verb excepting for be that has eight variations. These variations are base form, present tense, past tense, past participle, and present participle. But by far verbs are the most systematic of are word classes. The use of expanded verbs is also used like simple present, present progressive and so on. These type of verbs we use ed, ing, en, and have and many others. What I could summarize from this chapter was the use of verbs in their many forms like present, past and future and adding letters at the end of words so the verbs could be pronounced in the correct form. We can only say that without the use of verbs in our language words would not have a meaning since you don’t now if they are being used in present, past or future. Another thing this chapter talks about is the use of passive voice. To change a sentence from active to passive you the object most become the subject and the agent is the object of the preposition by or in some cases for. For example the fans booed the referee- The referee was booed by the fans . You can see clearly how the use of by and how the object becomes the subject.
How Big of an impact would verbs have in you’re writing in they dint exists?
