English verbs, verb conjugation Verbs Verb Conjugation Rules Verbs are inflected (verbs are said to be conjugated while nouns and pronouns are declined.) to reflect how they are used. Apart from the irregular ones whose unpredictable principal parts, P1, P4, and P5 must be memorized and are listed below, conjugation follows this simple set of rules. New irregular verbs are no longer being created in English so the list of irregular verbs to be learnt is not getting any larger. Definitions: vowels : ['a','e','i','o','u','y']. consonants : all others. doubling characters : ['b','d','f','g','l','m','n','p','r','s','t','z']. The verb "be" is a special case and is ignored in these rules in simple present and past. All one-syllable verbs have a stressed last syllable. P1: The verb stem. P2: Third person singular present indicative. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. P3: present participle. 1. 2. 3. 4. P4: simple past. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. P5: past participle. 1. 2. Irregular verb list
English Listening Lessons Present Participle in English grammar The Present Participle The present participle of most verbs has the form base+ing and is used in the following ways: a. as part of the continuous form of a verb (See continuous tenses in VERB TENSES) Examples I am working he was singing they have been walking b. after verbs of movement/position in the pattern: verb + present participle She went shopping He lay looking up at the clouds She came running towards me This construction is particularly useful with the verb 'to go', as in these common expressions : c. after verbs of perception in the pattern: verb + object + present participle I heard someone singing. NOTE: There is a difference in meaning when such a sentence contains a zero-infinitiverather than a participle. Compare: I heard Joanna singing (= she had started before I heard her, and probably went on afterwards) I heard Joanna sing (= I heard her complete performance) d. as an adjective amazing, worrying, exciting, boring It was an amazing film. They went out into the snow.
