600 Common Verbs Forms List A to Z with PDF

Common Verbs Forms List A to Z! In this lesson, you will learn about five different forms of verbs. This list of verbs is very important to understand different aspects of verbs. We are going to discuss 5 different forms of verbs, Base form, Simple present tense, Present participle, Simple past tense, and Past participle. Here is the list of three forms of verbs in English.

Before going towards the verbs forms list a to z, Let us understand these five forms of verbs with their definitions, this will make your learning easy and interesting.

-Base Form

It is basically the root form of a verb. This is the most simple verb form, without any -ed or -ing addition.

-Simple Present Tense

The simple present tense form is basically used in present indefinite tense, it is basically the root form of the verb with the addition of s or es at the end when we have a third singular person as an object.

-Present Participle

You will find the present particle form in the continuous tense. Mostly in present continuous tense, it is simply formed by adding -ing at the end of the root form of the verb.

-Simple Past Tense

It can be a little complicated, not simple like present participle (adding -ing at the end of root form), it is formed by adding -ed at the end of a regular verb, but in the case of irregular verbs we can’t just add -ed, their case is different.

-Past Participle

It is in the case of the perfect tense, we use past participle form in the perfect tense, It is formed by simply adding -ed at the end of the base form or root form in the case of a regular verb. For irregular verbs, we have to memorize each form they don’t follow any pattern.
