verb form
Action word shape
A verb form is any of the different shapes a verb takes to express grammatical distinctions such as tense, mood, aspect, person, or number.
English verbs typically have five forms: the base (walk), third-person singular (walks), past tense (walked), past participle (walked), and present participle (walking).
Irregular verbs like be or go have more forms.
Understanding verb forms is essential for conjugation and agreement in sentences.
