What is a verb?

Verb it is the word that expresses a fact, locating it in time. It usually expresses an idea of ​​action, state or phenomenon.

Importantly, verbs can express other types of facts than action, state or phenomenon. Note the example below:

congratulate

I make you to suffer?
Or are you the one who suffers because of me?
Or is it you who suffer for your own sake?
Getting to that question (takes years and years) is essential in the love relationship. The answer will take a lot of time, suffering and, in each case, it will be different. But if found, it will improve any relationship. Or you will see its termination.
I propose, as an exercise, an attitude of exchange. where do you read to suffer, read to congratulate (I'm happy, you're happy, he's happy, we're happy, you're happy, they are happy).
Why does happiness have no verb?
The question would then be: Is it me who make you happy, or is it you who happiness because of me?
Life is curious and masochistic. The verb to suffer it is complicated.
congratulate It's simple. Why do we prefer to combine the to suffer?

Artur da Table

You may have noticed that in Artur da Távola's text there is the use of the verb to suffer and the neologism, created to act as a verb, "happiness". These two verbs, we will call this even if the word to congratulate do not appear in the dictionary, they cannot be considered actions, state or phenomenon, so there are verbs that escape this more hurried and didactic classification.

Verb to be

What will you become when you grow up?
They keep asking around. What is being?
Is it having a body, a way, a name?
I have all three. And I'm?
Do I have to change when I grow up? Using another name, body and way?
Or do we only start being when we grow up?
It's terrible, be? It hurts? It's good? It's sad?
To be; pronounced so quickly, and fits so many things?
I repeat: Being, Being, Being. Er. A.
Who will I be when I grow up?
Am I obligated to? Can I choose?
It's impossible to understand. I won't be.
I will grow up anyway.
Without Forgetting.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

The Portuguese language is very rich in words and there are approximately eleven thousand verbs, divided into three subgroups called conjugations. To conjugate a verb is to say it in all its forms in different people, numbers, tenses, modes and voices. There are three conjugations:

?Belong to first conjugation the verbs ending in -air: love, sing, dance;

?Belong to second conjugation the verbs ending in -er: make, eat, grow;

?Belong to third conjugation the verbs ending in -go: ask, leave, feel.

The verb has several inflections. Are they:

? People: first, second and third;

? Number: singular and plural;

? Mode: indicative, subjunctive and imperative;

? Time: present, past and future;

? Voice: active, passive and reflective.

As it is an extensive grammatical class, the verb has some subdivisions that facilitate its study
