Do you want me to teach you how to quickly determine the form of a verb? It is not difficult, you only need to know a certain algorithm.
Walk, lay, lay ... Go down, bed, lie down (or lie down) ... What is the difference between these verbs, because at first glance they are so similar?
Their difference is in mood. The first three verbs have neither tense, nor face, nor other signs. They simply indicate, as befits a verb, an action. This is an indefinite form of the verb. It is also called initial (which is not entirely correct) or infinitive. Who, at what time performed the action, this non-conjugated form of the verb does not indicate.
Verbs in this form have the following characteristics:
- View. The question "what to do?" (run, paint, draw) indicates that the action is not finished, not completed to the end. This type of verb is called imperfect.
The question "what to do?" (run away, paint, draw) indicates that the action has a limit, it has already happened, ended, therefore these verbs belong to the perfect form.
- The indefinite form of a verb does not prevent the verb from being transitive. If an action in this context goes to an object (to paint a table, draw a little man, see a friend), if a verb without an excuse is combined with an accusative case, then it will be considered transitive.
If the action cannot be transferred to the subject (for example, you cannot say "go to the person"), then the verb will be intransitive.
Sometimes the same verb can be transitive in one text (We are tired of painting the wall) and intransitive in another (We are tired of painting the whole day).
- The indefinite form of the verb is not alien to recurrence. What to do? Take care and take care, twist and spin. However, not all verbs can be reflexive: to be able to lie, to walk.
- Since the indefinite form of the verb is not conjugated, in order to understand when, by whom the action was performed, whether it actually took place, or was done only in dreams, the mood of the verb should be determined . There are only three of them.
- The imperative form of the verb denotes an order, an incitement to some action, a request. The verbs “paint”, “sing”, “bring”, “give” are in the imperative mood.
- Conditional mood "lives in dreams." It is formed by the formula “the basis of the infinitive + the suffix L + the particle would be (b)). I would go to the cinema if it were not for laziness. I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t eat, and I worked all day. I could. Just a pity: it's all too lazy to do it. These verbs can be in any number, but in the only one they still vary by gender. They indicate an action that is possible under certain conditions.
- If a verb does not have a particle, if it does not contain an order,that means he stands in the form of an indicative mood. Draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, will draw - these are examples of such an inclination. It is in the indicative mood that we use verbs most often. Why? Yes, because the actions that have already taken place, which are taking place at the moment or will happen someday, indicate precisely the verbs in this mood.
It is in this mood that the verbs are capable of changing in time (walking, walking, going), in faces (walking - walking, walking - walking, walking - walking), numbers.
