TYPES OF VERBS.  Needless to say that it is so important. If there is no verb,  that is not a sentence. What is verb? Every sentence has a verb,and gives an action to it. (Capitalised are verbs) When did you FINISH it? I AM Mahendiran. I am TEACHING Grammar. How do you DO? SWITCH ON your mobile phone. Why is this guy TORTURING us? Who IS he? If you ask,  'How many verbs are there in English language?' it's hardly to answer. Millions of verbs are there, we use some thousands or hundreds, that's all. Anyway, every verb functions as four forms. Such as PRESENT FORM (V1) Eg. WRITE. PAST FORM (V2) Eg. WROTE. PAST PARTICIPLE FORM (V3) Eg. WRITTEN. PRESENT PARTICIPLE FORM (V4) Eg. WRITING. Any verb has four forms as seen above. (Go to my link verb analysis slides mimseglobalenglish.blogspot.in .) These four forms are used in different tenses with a strong support of auxiliaries. V1 is used in all simple tenses with relevant au

I have said many times in my previous posts that a learner must know the rules of voices, tenses and statements.  It means, a sentence that may be framed in simple present tense/active voice /affirmative to be promoted in negative, regular interrogative against all compartments, specific interrogative (both positive and negative) and tag interrogative (both positive and negative) ON BOTH VOICES.  This type of task is called STATEMENT PROMOTION ON BOTH VOICES. I titled myself, the same is trained to my students.  This task should be done for all tenses. The sentence should be a transitive one, because only then one can do on both active and passive voices.  First, students should be asked to write. Then to read the same extensively. Later, to speak the same without referring the notebook. However, students must not be tortured by giving any tough sentence in beginning.  Should start from the simple present tense giving an easy structure, like, I WRITE A LETTER TO MY FR

English is a hybrid language. This is the reason that she looks hard and soft to learners. Scandinavian and west Germanic are the parental ancestors of English. English can be caught but not taught- is a familiar sentence, trainers must know it. Grammar of this language is intellectual as she was made of several languages in structures. There is no much difference between literate and colloquial forms in spoken English. However, some rhythms are added on speaking. She was born in England and spread across the world due to  various reasons. Besides ENGLAND, USA, CANADA, SOUTH AFRICA, AUSTRALIA and  NEW ZEALAND rule their offices in complete  English as a mother tongue. Also some rich lands in Europe continent are the  owners of English. Besides Scandinavian and West Germanic, Latin, Spanish, French and Greek have blessed this language to be a first class language in the world. In fact, seventy percent of words that you use today didn't exist in old English. All were impo

*Missing the woods for the trees* - is a familiar idiom in English. (WOODS means FOREST) It is meant in various ways. It might mean, Horlicks manufacturer buys an half kg Horlicks bottle from a road side grocery shop. He is missing there his forest that is his godown but needs his product on road side. In another angle, it could mean, As the trees are cut down one by one, forest loses its image.' Peter sold out his good business as he was in need of big money. V. MAHENDIRAN MIMSE NAGAPATTINAM
