500 Verbs Forms in English From A to Z

Learn Basic Forms of verbs which are taken as a very important point to start learning vocabulary, We have also helped the learners learn how to use the various verb forms, including the root form of the verb.

Before getting into learning the forms of verbs we need to understand the terms we have used in the tables of verb forms.

Base form: It is the root form of a verb without any specific ending -ed, -ing etc. This is the verb that is often used to look up the dictionary.

Simple present tense (3rd person singular): This particular form of the verb is formed by adding s or es at the end of the base form when we have 3rd person singular as a subject.

Present participle (Continuous tense ): It is formed by adding -ing at the end of the base form when we have the continuous tenses or gerund.

Simple past tense: It is formed by adding -ed at the end of the base form of regular verbs and with irregular verbs we cannot determine what to add at the end of the base form, so we have to memorize them.

Past participle (Perfect tense) It is formed by adding -ed at the end of the base form of regular verbs and with irregular verbs we cannot determine what to add at the end of the base form, so we have to memorize them.
