Verbs
There are two kinds of verbs
1. Transitive verbs
A transitive verb should have an object otherwise sentence is not
complete.
Ex: We study English
(There should be something for use to English)
She eats sweets.
(There should be something for her to eat)
2. Intransitive verbs
An intransitive verb cannot have an object. There fore the noun or
pronoun that comes after an intransitive verb, should govern by a
preposition.
Ex:
We sat under a tree.
She goes to school.
He stares at me.
Look at these sentences,
Farmers plough the paddy field.
Farmers plough in the paddy field.
She speaks English.
She speaks in English.
This is the way; we form plural verbs into singular.
1. Most of the plural verbs form their singular by adding S to the plural
verbs.
Ex.
Speak – Speaks
Come – comes
Love - loves
2. If a plural, verb ends in [ss,ch,sh,x,o] we form the singular by adding es
to the plural.
Ex.
Catch – catches
Wash – washes
3. If a plural verb ends in a Y following a component to the form the singular
Y changes into I and add ES.
Ex.
Study – studies
Fly - flies
But sometimes
Play – plays
Say - says
