Action Verbs Action verbs reveal something that is being done by the subject, such as a desire, action, event, etc. Examples: I play ball when I can. I help my mother with her homework. I teach every day. State Verbs These verbs indicate a characteristic or state. For example: I am tired. I am happy. I was surprised. I am distracted. I remained confused. I remained faithful. Usually, a state verb follows an adjective. Verbs that Indicate Natural Phenomena As the name suggests, this type of verb indicates a natural phenomenon. Examples: It snowed in the Serra Gaúcha. It rained all day yesterday. It's very windy in Itajubá, a city in southern Minas Gerais. It will be very windy next week. It thundered early in the morning, but it didn't rain. It was dawn when they arrived at the lake. Verbs can be written in three tenses: present, past, or future. For example: I sang, I sing, and I will sing. And when the verb isn't in the past, present, or future, what do we call it? We call it an infinitive, which is the verb in its natural state. They can end in ar, er, and ir. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd conjugations. The 1st conjugation includes verbs ending in AR, examples: jump, sing, talk, look. The 2nd conjugation includes verbs ending in ER, examples: drink, run, learn, write. And the 3rd conjugation includes verbs ending in IR, examples: open, divide, fulfill, correct. And there are also regular and irregular verbs. In regular verbs, the stem doesn't change. In irregular verbs, not only do the endings change, but the stems also change. Verbs can be in three different moods: In the indicative: indicating certainty. Example: Juliet jumps rope. In the subjunctive: indicating doubt. Example: Maybe she jumps rope. And in the imperative: indicating an order or request. Example: Juliet, go to your room now! And finally, in addition to the verb being in the infinitive, it can also be in the gerund and participle. They are not part of any tense or mood. Regular verbs in the past participle always end in -do. For example: sung, studied, party, lived. And the past participle is when the verb ends in -ndo. For example: singing, living, feeling, jumping.
