Types of verbs 1 - V

Normally there is at least one verb in a complete English sentence, and I categorize these verbs into two types, V & Be. In this post, we will learn the first type.

Verb is the key to an English sentence. If you have a good command of verbs, you will understand English better and create English more easily.

Type 1: V

- They jog. [S+V, V: jog]

- They eat snake meat. [S+V+N, V: eat]

- They like cats. [S+V+N, V: like]

- They look tired. [S+V+Adj, V: look]

- They work from 8 to 5. [S+V+Adv, V: work] (Meaning: They work from 8 am to 5 pm.)
