What Is a Verb Form?

A verb form is a way in which a verb is shaped or modified in order to suit the context that speaks about an action that is performed at a specific time. The five verb forms in English are root verb, third person singular present form of verb, present participle, simple past and past participle.

Root Verb with Examples

The root verb is the verb in its original form, without any inflexion or change. The root form of the verb is used as the base form to create the other forms of the verb. Keep in mind that this is not the case with all verbs. The root form of the verb is modified when conjugated to represent other forms of the verb only for regular verbs. Irregular verbs have unique ways in which they are conjugated, and not all remain the same.

Root verbs are most often used to indicate the simple present tense. Let us take a look at the following examples of how the root verb is used in sentences.

Examples of Root Verbs:

• I love watching movies with my friends. (Root verb – love)
• I finish my homework before 6 p.m. everyday. (Root verb – finish)
• You play really well. (Root verb – play)
• You are beautiful. (Root verb – be)

In the above examples, the verbs ‘love’, ‘finish’, ‘play’ and ‘are’ are used in their original form, and so they are called root verbs.

Third Person Singular Present Form with Examples

The third person singular form of the verb is used to represent the simple present tense. As far as regular verbs are concerned, the third person singular form is indicated by the addition of an ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the end of the root verb.

Examples of Third Person Singular Present Form:

• Tom likes having cereal for breakfast.

Root verb – like, Third person singular form – likes

• Sheela teaches English for sixth grade students.

Root verb – teach, Third person singular form – teaches

• My father reads the newspaper everyday.

Root verb – read, Third person singular form – reads

• The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Root verb – rise, set; Third person singular form – rises, sets

Present Participle Form of the Verb with Examples

The present participle form of the verb is formed by adding an ‘ing’ to the base form/root verb. In some cases, when the word is a monosyllabic word that ends with a vowel followed by a consonant, the last consonant is doubled, and then the ‘ing’ is added. For verbs ending with an ‘e’, the ‘e’ is removed, and the ‘ing’ is added in most cases. However, there are a few verbs that retain the ‘e’ in the base form when converted to the present participle form of the verb.

This form of the verb is used in the continuous/progressive tenses to indicate that the action is still going on. It is also used to convert verbs into nouns that refer to an action.

Examples of Present Participle Form:

• Words that have double consonants
  • Run – Running
  • Swim – Swimming
  • Forget – Forgetting
  • Sit – Sitting
  • Cut – Cutting
• Examples of regular verbs converted to the present participle form
  • Cry – crying
  • Try – Trying
  • Read – Reading
  • Write – Writing (‘e’ is removed)
  • Age – Ageing (‘e’ is retained)

Simple Past Form of the Verb with Examples

The simple past form of the verb is used to denote an action that took place in the past. It is usually formed by adding an ‘ed’ or ‘d’ (for words ending in ‘e’) to the end of the root verb. However, there are irregular verbs that do not follow the general rule. Let us look at a few examples of the simple past form of the verb.

Examples of Simple Past Form:

• Regular verbs in the simple past form
  • Cheat – Cheated
  • Dodge – Dodged
  • Jump – Jumped
  • Skip – Skipped
  • Iron – Ironed
• Verbs that take the same form as the root verb in the simple past form of the verb
  • Read – Read
  • Cut – Cut
  • Put – Put
  • Let – Let
  • Hit – Hit
  • Hurt – Hurt
• Irregular verb forms
  • Run – Ran
  • Sit – Sat
  • Sing – Sang
  • Throw – Threw
  • Fly – Flew
  • Bring – Brought
  • Buy – Bought
  • Think – Though
  • Ring – Rang
  • Find – Found
  • Lose – Lost
  • Meet – Met

Past Participle Form of the Verb with Examples

The past participle form of the verb is used to indicate the perfect tense. For regular verbs, the simple past form and the past participle form of the verb remain the same, whereas there are irregular verbs that take a different spelling when used as a past participle. Let us look at a few examples to understand better.

Examples of Past Participle Form:

• Verbs that take the same spelling in the simple past and past participle forms of the verb

Root Verb	Simple Past	Past Participle
Read	Read	Read
Sit	Sat	Sat
Think	Thought	Thought
Throw	Threw	Threw
Cut	Cut	Cut
Buy	Bought	Bought
Stand	Stood	Stood
Pull	Pulled	Pulled
Draw	Drew	Drew
Tumble	Tumbled	Tumbled

• Verbs that take a different spelling when used in the simple past form and the past participle form

Root Verb	Simple Past	Past Participle

Ring	Rang	Rung
Choose	Chose	Chosen
Write	Wrote	Written

WE LOVE READING SUMMER ACTIVITIES 2024 :: TODAY MORAL STORY : దొంగలు చేసిన సాయం..!

దొంగలు చేసిన సాయం..!

అవంతి రాజ్యంలో బుడగడు, మల్లేశం, బసవయ్య, రంగదాసు అనే నలుగురి దొంగల ముఠా ఉండేది. ఒకరోజు వాళ్లు చలమచర్ల గ్రామాన్ని దోచుకోవడానికి బయలుదేరారు. ఆ ఊరి సమీపంలోకి చేరుకునేసరికే అర్ధరాత్రి అయింది. అలా వెళ్తుండగా వారికి.. ఆ ఊర్లో మంటలు ఎగిసి పడుతుండటం కనిపించింది. ఒక ఇంట్లో వెలుగుతున్న దీపాన్ని, పిల్లి కింద పడేటంతో ఆ మంటలు చెలరేగాయి. అర్ధరాత్రి కావడంతో.. ఊరంతా గాఢ నిద్రలో ఉన్నారు. దాంతో మంటలు ఒక ఇంటి నుంచి మరో ఇంటికి ఊరంతా వ్యాపించాయి. ఊరు తగలబడిపోవడం చూసి, రంగదాసు ఆనందంతో చప్పట్లు కొడుతూ.. ‘కలిసొచ్చే కాలం అంటే ఇదే.. ఒకవైపు జనాలు తమ ఇళ్లను కాపాడుకునే ప్రయత్నంలో ఉంటారు. ఇంకో వైపు మనం ఏ ఆటంకం లేకుండా ఊరిని దోచుకోవచ్చు’ అన్నాడు. ఆ మాటలు ముఠా నాయకుడు బుడగడికి అస్సలు నచ్చలేదు. దాంతో అతను.. ‘ఊరు తగలబడి పోతుందని.. జనమంతా దుఃఖసాగరంలో ఉంటే, మనం దోచుకోవాలనుకోవడం చాలా తప్పు. ముందు ఆ ఆలోచన మానుకొని, మనం వారికి సహాయం చేద్దాం పదండి!’ అన్నాడు.

ఇక వాళ్లు పరుగున ఊరిలోకి వెళ్లారు. అక్కడ జనం ఏడూస్తూ దిక్కుతోచని స్థితిలో ఉన్నారు. ఈ నలుగురూ సాహసించి తగలబడిపోతున్న ఇళ్లలోకి వెళ్లి.. కదలలేని స్థితిలో ఉన్న ముసలి వాళ్లను బయటకు మోసుకొచ్చారు. వస్తు సామగ్రిని బయటకు తెచ్చారు. దగ్గర్లో ఉన్న బావి నుంచి నీళ్లు తెచ్చి మంటలు ఆర్పే ప్రయత్నం చేశారు. అలా గ్రామస్థులకు తమ వంతు సహాయ సహకారాలు అందించారు. తెల్లవారే సమయానికి మంటలు అదుపులోకి వచ్చాయి. ఇంతలో.. ‘దొంగలు.. దొంగలు..!’ అంటూ అరుపులు వినిపించాయి. వాళ్లు నలుగురే అపరిచితులు కాబట్టి.. అందరికీ వారి మీదే అనుమానం వచ్చింది. ప్రాణాలకు తెగించి సహాయం చేసినప్పటికీ.. నటిస్తూ దోచుకుంటున్నారని అపోహపడ్డారు గ్రామ ప్రజలు. దాంతో వాళ్లను చెట్టుకు కట్టేసి.. రాజ భటులకు అప్పజెప్పారు.

వారం తర్వాత మహారాజు వచ్చి.. ‘మీరు ఆ ఊరిలో దొంగతనం చేశారు. కాబట్టి మీకు శిక్ష తప్పదు’ అన్నాడు. ‘మేం దొంగలం అన్నమాట నిజమే. కానీ ఆ ఊరిలో ఎలాంటి వస్తువులూ దోచుకోలేదు. మమ్మల్ని నమ్మండి. ఇంకెప్పుడూ దొంగతనాలు చేయం’ అని వేడుకున్నారా నలుగురు. ‘జనాలు చమటోడ్చి సంపాదించిన సొమ్మును దోచుకోవడం చాలా తప్పు. నష్టం తప్ప.. మీ వల్ల ఎలాంటి ప్రయోజనం లేదు. మరణదండనే మీకు సరైన శిక్ష’ అని రాజు కోపంగా అన్నాడు. అక్కడున్న ప్రజలు కూడా.. మరణ దండనే తగిన శిక్ష’ అంటూ రాజుకు వంతపాడారు. అప్పుడు అక్కడికి వచ్చిన భద్రయ్య అనే వ్యక్తి.. ‘వారికి మరణ శిక్ష వేయడం సరైంది కాదు. చేసిన తప్పును ఒప్పుకున్న వాళ్లకి క్షమాభిక్ష పెట్టడం ధర్మం. అయినా వాళ్లు ఆ రోజు దొంగతనానికే వచ్చినా.. ఏమీ దోచుకోలేదు. ఊరు తగలబడిపోతుంటే.. వారికి సహాయం చేశారు. ఎంతోమంది ప్రాణాలు రక్షించారు. వీళ్లలో మంచి మనసు కూడా ఉంది. కాబట్టి ఆ నలుగురికి మరణ శిక్ష విధించడం కాకుండా.. మంచి పని ఇప్పించి వారిలో మార్పు వచ్చేలా చేయడం మంచిది. మా పల్లెలో నాకు పెద్ద వ్యవసాయ క్షేత్రం ఉంది. అక్కడికి తీసుకెళ్లి నేను శిక్షణ ఇప్పిస్తాను. మంచి మనుషులుగా మారుస్తాను’ అన్నాడు. ఆ మాటలు విన్న రాజు కాసేపు ఆలోచించి.. ‘ఒక అవకాశం ఇస్తున్నాను. అప్పటికీ వారి బుద్ధి మార్చుకోకపోతే శిక్ష మాత్రం తప్పదు’ అన్నాడు.

అలా భద్రయ్య నలుగురినీ తన వెంటపెట్టుకొని వెళ్లాడు. ‘మీరు ఇంతకు ముందు దొంగతనాలు చేశారు కాబట్టి.. మంచి చేసినా ఎవరూ గుర్తించరు. అందుకే మంటల నుంచి ఆ గ్రామ ప్రజలను రక్షించినా వారికి దొంగతనం చేస్తున్నారనే అనిపించింది. ఇప్పటి నుంచి అయినా.. జాగ్రత్తగా పనులు చేసుకుంటూ ఆ పేరు పోయేలా చేసుకోండి’ అని చెప్పాడు. సంవత్సరం గడిచే సరికి.. వాళ్లు పూర్తిగా మారిపోయారు. ఎంచక్కా వ్యవసాయం చేసుకోసాగారు. ఆలోచనా విధానాన్ని మంచి వైపు మార్చుకుంటే.. జీవితం సాఫీగా సాగిపోతుందని నిరూపించారు.

WE LOVE READING SUMMER ACTIVITIES 2024- TODAY ENGLISH  MORAL STORY : The Foolish Lion and The Clever Rabbit

Once upon a time, in a forest, there lived a greedy lion. All the other animals were scared of him, because he hunted everyday and killed the animals in large numbers even when he was not hungry. They knew that soon, none of them would be left alive.

The animals met and decided that they would offer one animal to the lion everyday. They went to the lion and said, “Your Majesty, please hear us out. We have a humble request. The rate at which you killing us, soon none of us will be left in the forest. We ask you to stay in your den always. Everyday, we will send you one animal as your food. This way you won’t have to hunt for your food and we, too, can survive.”

The lion agreed and from that day onward, one animal chosen to be sent to the lion, to become his meal.

One day it was the turn of an young rabbit. This rabbit was very clever. He did not want to be eaten by the lion. He also wanted to get rid of the lion forever. He thought hard and came up with a plan to kill the lion.

On the day he was supposed to go to the lion, to become lion’s meal, he got up very late. He started walking slowly towards the lion’s den. He even slept on the way, reaching the lion’s den by sunset.

In the meantime, the lion had grown angry and impatient. When he saw the tiny rabbit coming towards him, he roared, “I have waited an entire day, and the animals send me this puny little rabbit! You are too small for a meal. I shall teach the animals a lesson. I will kill them all!”

The rabbit remained calm and said, “Oh mighty lion, may I say something. The animals had sent a group of six rabbits for your meal. But on the way, another lion stopped us. he said that he was the new king of the forest. We told him that we already have a brave lion as our king. He kept the five rabbits with me and asked me to inform you that you must leave the forest at once or he will kill you.

The lion, upon hearing this, became very furious. He asked the rabbit to take him to the new lion’s den so that he could kill the other lion and settle the matter.

The rabbit agreed and led the lion to a deep well.

“He lives in that fortress, My Lord,” said the rabbit to the lion. The lion went to the well and looked inside. He saw his own reflection in the water and thought it was the other lion. He roared in anger. He heard the echo of his voice and thought it was the other lion. He jumped inside the well to kill the enemy lion. But his head crashed against the rocks, he fell into the water and was drowned.

The little rabbit rushed back to tell the other animals how he had saved the forest.
