We've already learned a lot about verbs. But, as you know, they are made up of different aspects, which is why we will getting to know them little by little, so that, in the end, we can be more and more aces in the subject, agree?
Thus, the subject we will deal with refers to the different classifications that verbs receive, taking into account some characteristics presented by them. For this reason, they can be classified as regular, irregular, anomalous, defective and abundant. Shall we meet them then?
Regular verbs
They are those that do not show any change in the radical at the time they are conjugated. If you have any questions about what the radical is, remind yourself a little more through the text: let's know the structures of verbs.
Some examples that represent these verbs are: sing, sell and leave. Are we going to combine them in the present indicative way?
Irregular verbs
They are those that present alterations, both in the radical and in the endings. Representing these verbs are the verbs “to measure” and “to do”. How about combining them?
anomalous verbs
They are those that, during conjugation, present profound changes in the stem, as is the case of the verbs “ir” and “ser”. Are we going to perform one more task to bring them together? This time at different times, referring to the indicative mode:
defective verbs
They are those that present, among other aspects, some forms that are identical to other verbs, such as the verb to fail, that if it were conjugated in the first person singular, and in the third person plural, it could be confused with the verb to speak. To prove it, just combine it:
Me - #
You - #
He - #
we went bankrupt
you fall
They - #
abundant verbs
They are those that have two forms, represented by the regular and irregular participle. To remind them, just see the text: knowing a little more about the abundant verbs . As examples we can cite the case of verbs "deliver", expressed by the forms "delivered and delivered", as well as "save", expressed by the forms "saved and saved".
