Verbos= acciones

Una de las partes más importantes de una oración cuando se usa el idioma inglés, o cualquier idioma, es el verbo. Estas palabras se utilizan para decirle al oyente o lector qué acción está realizando el sujeto de la oración.

​¿Qué son los verbos en inglés?

Los verbos, en teoría, son bastante sencillos. Pero no todo el mundo podría proporcionar una definición, incluso si supiera cómo utilizarla dentro de una frase. También hay una tendencia entre las personas a ceñirse a ciertos verbos que conocen, y esforzarse por usar otros nuevos se convierte en un desafío. Con el fin de darte algo de variedad, veremos qué es exactamente un verbo, usaremos algunos ejemplos para que veas cómo funcionan como parte de una oración y te proporcionaremos algunas listas. de verbos en diferentes categorías para que pueda encontrar algunos que puedan ayudarlo a mezclar un poco las cosas en su escritura.

Un verbo es una palabra que muestra acción, ocurrencia o estado del ser. Cuando se escribe con la partícula "to", el verbo está en su forma infinitiva-the infinitive (en español son las terminaciones en: -ar,-er, -ir, ejemplo: am-ar, com-er, dorm-ir.
Aquí es donde lo escribirías así:

Hornear- To bake
Limpiar- To clean
Cocinar- To cook
Cantar- To sing

Hay muchos más verbos, por supuesto, pero la lista anterior le muestra cómo se ve un verbo en su forma infinitiva, lo que le facilita identificar si una palabra en una oración es un verbo o no. Recuerde, un verbo debe mostrar que algo está sucediendo, porque una acción está ocurriendo de una forma u otra. Muchas personas, cuando aprenden por primera vez sobre los verbos, simplemente se refieren a ellos como "hacer palabras", porque siempre muestran que algo se ha hecho, se está haciendo o se hará en el futuro (dependiendo del tiempo en el que esté escribiendo).
