Verbs are the workhorses of any language. They describe actions, states, or occurrences, and they're essential for communicating effectively. In English, verbs can be tricky, especially for learners who are not native speakers. There are regular verbs, irregular verbs, past tense, present tense, future tense—the list goes on. And if you're also learning French, you'll need to learn a whole new set of verbs.

But don't worry! We're here to help. In this comprehensive guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about English verbs. We'll start with the basics, like regular and irregular verbs, and then we'll move on to more complex topics, like past, present, and future tenses. By the end of this guide, you'll be able to conjugate verbs accurately and build your vocabulary so you can express yourself with confidence.

Regular verbs

Regular verbs are the most common type of verb in English. They follow a regular pattern when they are conjugated, which makes them easy to learn. The most common regular verb conjugation pattern is:

• Present tense: -s (for third person singular)
• Past tense: -ed
• Future tense: will + infinitive

For example, the regular verb "walk" is conjugated as follows:

• Present tense: I walk, you walk, he/she/it walks
• Past tense: I walked, you walked, he/she/it walked
• Future tense: I will walk, you will walk, he/she/it will walk

Irregular verbs

Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the regular conjugation pattern. They can be tricky to learn, but they're also very common. Some of the most common irregular verbs in English include:

• Be
• Have
• Do
• Go
• See
• Take
• Make
• Come
• Get
• Eat

Irregular verbs are conjugated in a variety of ways, so it's important to memorize their conjugations. You can find a list of irregular verbs and their conjugations in any English dictionary.

Past, present, and future tenses

Verbs can be conjugated in three different tenses: past, present, and future. The past tense is used to describe actions that happened in the past, the present tense is used to describe actions that are happening now, and the future tense is used to describe actions that will happen in the future.

To conjugate a verb in the past tense, simply add -ed to the end of the verb. For example, the past tense of "walk" is "walked." To conjugate a verb in the present tense, simply use the base form of the verb. For example, the present tense of "walk" is "walk." To conjugate a verb in the future tense, use the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the verb. For example, the future tense of "walk" is "will walk."

English verb conjugation

Conjugating verbs is essential for communicating effectively in English. When you conjugate a verb, you change its form to indicate the tense, person, and number of the subject. For example, the verb "walk" can be conjugated as follows:

• I walk
• You walk
• He/she/it walks
• We walk
• You walk
• They walk

The table below shows all of the different conjugations of the verb "walk" in the present tense:

French verb conjugation

French verbs are conjugated in a similar way to English verbs. However, there are a few key differences. For example, French verbs have two different sets of conjugations: one for regular verbs and one for irregular verbs. Regular verbs are conjugated according to their group, while irregular verbs are conjugated in a variety of ways. Additionally, French verbs have a variety of different tenses, including the present tense, the past tense, the future tense, and the conditional tense.

The table below shows all of the different conjugations of the regular French verb "parler" (to speak) in the present tense:

Learning English verbs can be a challenge, but it's essential for communicating effectively. By understanding the different types of verbs, tenses, and conjugations, you can build your vocabulary and express yourself with confidence. And if you're also learning French, you'll be able to master both languages with ease.
