Verbs Forms List A to Z 

A verb simply means work. It’s one of the parts of speech. There are different types of verbs and three forms.

  • Base form
  • Past form
  • Past participle form

Tenses are very important in a language as it tells what time you are referring to. If you don’t use the correct tense, you can’t explain to the listener or reader what you are trying to say.

  • Asma eats fries. (Base form)
  • Asma ate fries. (Past form)
  • Asma had eaten fries. (Past Participle form)

To use the right tense, you must memorize the different forms of verbs. Verbs also help you enrich your vocabulary and enable you to speak the English language without hesitation.
Some common verbs are eaten, drink, sit, run, play, write, read, teach and pray.
An extensive list of base verbs with their past and past participle forms is available here. Commonly they are also called 1st, 2nd, and 3rd forms of verbs.
