6. Intransitive Verbs:

Intransitive verbs can stand alone in a sentence without a direct object.

   - They laughed.

7. Regular Verbs:

   - play, talk, walk (follow a standard conjugation pattern)

In English, regular verbs typically form their past tense and past participle by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. For example:

• Base Form: Walk

• Past Tense: Walked

• Past Participle: Walked

• Base Form: Play

• Past Tense: Played

• Past Participle: Played

8. Irregular Verbs:

   - go, be, have (do not follow a standard conjugation pattern)

Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the regular pattern of adding "-ed" to form their past tense and past participle in English. Instead, irregular verbs have unique forms for the past tense and past participle. Here are some examples of irregular verbs:

- **Base Form:** Go

  - **Past Tense:** Went

  - **Past Participle:** Gone

- **Base Form:** Break

  - **Past Tense:** Broke

  - **Past Participle:** Broken

- **Base Form:** Eat

  - **Past Tense:** Ate

  - **Past Participle:** Eaten

There are many irregular verbs in English, and the past tense and past participle forms need to be memorized since they don't follow a consistent rule like regular verbs do.

Verbs are words that express actions, occurrences, or states of being in a sentence. They are a vital component for indicating what is happening in a sentence.
