Study Notes
Grammar Rules for Verb Forms
- The verb form depends on the subject and the context of the sentence.
- The correct verb form is determined by the subject-verb agreement.
Verb Forms for Different Subjects
- For singular subjects (e.g., the new employee, the play), the verb form is usually in the third person singular (e.g., is interviewing, is being directed).
- For plural subjects (e.g., the women, the geese), the verb form is usually in the plural form (e.g., are going, are flying).
- For irregular plural nouns (e.g., tooth, foot, mouse), the verb form is usually in the plural form (e.g., are hurting, are running, are pulling).
Verb Forms for Different Tenses
- For present tense, the verb form is usually in the present simple (e.g., play, fly, swim, cry, drive).
- For past tense, the verb form is usually in the past simple (e.g., went, saw, had, traveled).
- For future tense, the verb form is usually in the future simple (e.g., will go, will see, will have).
Conditional Sentences
- If-clauses use the past perfect (e.g., had snowed, had enough money) or the past simple (e.g., had, would have gone).
- Main clauses use the conditional perfect (e.g., would have gone, would have traveled) or the conditional simple (e.g., would travel, would buy).
Tag Questions
- Tag questions use the auxiliary verb (e.g., do, does, did) and the subject-verb agreement.
- Examples: doesn't it?, is it?, didn't she?, are they?
Comparisons
- Comparisons use the comparative form (e.g., stronger, more expensive) or the superlative form (e.g., the strongest, the most expensive).
- Examples: He is stronger than his brother, This phone is more expensive than the one I bought last year.
