Verbs?  What would we do without them? Well, not really very much because verbs are the words that describe the actions that we do. Without verb we can’t even think about the sentence. Sometimes even a single verb can make the full sentence. For example if we are just saying ‘climb’ or ‘drink’ it suggests the full meaning of the sentence. English verbs can take two main forms, regular verbs and irregular verbs. They are the subject of this article, and are a crucial part of the language. In English, we use verbs in three main ways. Firstly, we use the base form in a number of ways; Base Form Of All Verbs The present simple tense, explaining something that is happening now. For example, ‘We sing in church’; in the infinitive form, which is easy to remember because the verb is preceded by ‘to’. ‘We like to sing in church.’ Ah, so this is a gerund! Next, we have the ‘ing’ version of the verb. This is known as the gerund, although most English native speakers do not u...

Verbals: Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles The three verbals— gerunds, infinitives, and participles —are formed from verbs, but are never used alone as action words in sentences. Instead, verbals function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. These verbals are important in phrases. The gerund ends in -ing and functions as a noun.             Jumping is fun.             He liked skiing .             He had a unique way of whistling . The infinitive is the base form of a verb with to . Usually it functions as a noun, although it can also function as an adjective or adverb.             To jump is fun. (noun; subject of the verb is )             I like to ski . (noun; direct object of the verb lik...

  Unless and If Often when we are talking about present situations, we use unless instead of if...not . Unless means except if or simply it means if...not . Both of these examples have the same meaning and refer to the present time. "You can't go on vacation unless you save some money." " If you don't save some money, you can't go on vacation." "You will feel cold if you don't wear a coat." "You will feel cold unless you wear a coat." Unless is good to use when it highlights an exception to what is generally true. In this example I only have one reason why I may be late: traffic (vehicles on the road): "I'll arrive at 10am unless there is traffic." "I'll arrive at 10am if there isn't traffic." This next example shows us that sometimes the context can change and unless is not exactly interchangeable with if...not . "I'll be annoyed if I do not arrive at 1...

C onnecting words and phrases in the English language, usually known as conjunction is one area you will need to master, as you are learning the language. The English language is difficult, but hopefully, this short article will help you understand how to link words and phrases together correctly. When Would You Need to Connect Words and Phrases in English? Words and phrases need to be connected for a variety of reasons. For example, you may want to make a comparison, contrast, show purpose or demonstrate condition. Most of the connectives, words that form the connection, are used to join two clauses together or start a new sentence expanding on the previous statement. Conjunctions A conjunction is a word like and, but, although, because. Conjunctions have an important function because they join other words and phrases together. Without conjunctions, we could only make very, very simple sentences. Introduction to Conjunctions We can consider conjunctions from three aspects. ...
