Types of Verbs

Full Verbs (Sometimes called Lexical Verbs)

These act as main verbs and describe an action, thought, or feeling. There is no limit to these words in this class.

Auxilary Verbs

These usually accompany a Main Verb;

(To have, to be, will, must, ect.)

Modal Auxilary Verbs

Lexis meaning possibly, probably, or certainty.

(Will, would, shall, should, might and can.)

Primary Verbs

(Be, have and do.)

//VERBS CAN BE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE//

They have tense:

Simple Present - I write,

Present Continuous - I am writing,

Simple Past - I wrote,

Perfect Past - I have written,

 and Future - The Auxilary Verb 'will' is used to create the future tense; I will write.

//THEY HAVE MOODS//

Indicative - Questions and facts (Rachel is shouting),

 Imperative - Commands (Shout, Rachel!),

 or Subjunctive - Conditions, Wishes and Suppostions (If Rachel were to shout...).
