THE VERB.

Forms.

Finite Verb-"finite" or "limited," which changes its form in accordance with the person and number of its subject-nominative.

Infinitive-which does not change its form and which is usually preceded by to.

Participle which performs the double function of verb and adverb.

Verbal Noun-which performs the double function of verb and noun.

The Infinitive, the Participle, and the Verbal Noun, form a group called Verbals, which, unlike the Finite Verb, express action without asserting it.

Properties.

Principal Parts-present indicative, present participle, past indicative, past participle.

Weak or Strong Formation-In general, a strong verb forms its past tense by changing its stem vowel, and its past participle by adding n or en to the stem. A weak verb adds d, ed, or t, to its stem to form its past tense and its past participle. Some verbs that have vowel change in the past tense, have the weak ending also, and are classed as weak. Examples:

Strong-write, wrote, written; lie, lay, lain.
Weak-lay, laid, laid; dive, dived, dived.

Transitive or Intransitive-A verb is transitive when it does not complete its action within itself, but upon some noun or pronoun representing that which receives its action directly. When a transitive verb is

active, its object receives its action; when it is passive, its subject receives its action.

Few verbs are by nature invariably either transitive or intransitive. One verb that is essentially intransitive is the verb to be, which can therefore never have an object. The same verb may be intransitive in one clause, and transitive in another clause, of the same sentence. The use of the verb in any given instance must determine whether it is transitive or intransitive.

Some verbs that seem essentially intransitive are, under certain conditions, transitive. Intransitive verbs used like verbs of causation, become transitive and take a direct object, which represents the real doer of the action, while the subject represents the causer of it.

Example:

I, who was rash, did not hesitate to follow her; but swam my horse over, and mounted on the back of the fish. In this sentence, swam is used in the sense of caused to swim; the horse performed the act of swimming, and the person speaking caused him to perform it.

Intransitive verbs are sometimes used in the passive voice by the help of an adverb; if the same sentence were expressed with the verb in the active voice, this adverb would be replaced by a preposition, whose object would be the subject of the verb in the passive form.

Example:

The terms of the combat were then sworn to with the utmost solemnity by all parties.

Active form: All parties then swore to the terms of the combat with the utmost solemnity.

Tense Variations in the form of the verb to indicate the time of the action or being are called Tenses.

In participles, verbal nouns, and in the subjunctive mood, the tenses are hardly more than convenient names to distinguish forms, since the time ideas conveyed by these parts of the verb are not necessarily those indicated by the tense

names.

In the infinitive, the present tense is used to express action contemporaneous with that of the main verb, whether present, past or future; the perfect is used to express an action prior to that of the main verb.

Mood-Finite verbs have different forms to represent the mood or manner in which the action or being expressed by them is to be viewed. There are three moods:

Indicative, representing the action or being as fact.

Subjunctive, representing the action or being as only thought of. This thought may be expressed as a wish, a fear, a purpose, a condition, a concession, etc.

Examples:

Wish-O that I might have my request; and that God would give me the thing that I long for!

Prayer Thy kingdom come.

Purpose-Most mighty Cæsar, let me know some cause,

Lest I be laughed at when I tell

them so.

Be silent that you may hear.

Fear "Let us run away for fear he should make us enlist in his company."

Condition-If it assume my noble father's person, I'll speak to it.

She would make a better heroine than Clelia. If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon compulsion.

Concession-Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

Imperative, expressing a command, a prayer or a request.
