Full explanation and examples: examples of the use of verbs (VERB) in correct and appropriate sentences in English
Verb is a word that describes an action, action, condition, or experience of something. In Indonesian, verbs are often called verbs because the verb shows the activity of the subject in the sentence. The verb is the most important part and always appears in every sentence. We can make sentences with only one verb, for example, “Go!”, we cannot make sentences with any other word except verbs. Therefore, verbs are very important in English.
The following is an explanation, how to use it, etc. regarding the verb or correct verb in an English sentence along with examples.
1. Examples of use of verbs in English:
- Action
Contoh: She runs into the house. They play soccer.
- Condition
he feels happy
I am clever
2. Types – types of verbs
- main verb (main verb)
These verbs are often called “lexical verbs” or verbs that have meaning and can stand alone.
Examples of words: eat, drink, play, go, etc.
Example in a sentence:
“She drinks a cup of coffee”
“They play football every day”
2. Linking verb
This verb works to connect the subject with the object. This verb does not show the action or action of the subject but gives information about the subject.
Contoh : to be (it is, I am, they are,…), it becomes, it seems, it appears, it feels dan lain sebagainya.
Example in a sentence:
“He is a student”
“He became president 2 years ago”
3. Auxiliary verb (auxiliary verb)
In a sentence, the auxiliary verb or auxiliary verb comes before the main verb and serves to help the main verb show the context of meaning and tense in a sentence.
Contoh : to be (is, am, are,…), modal (must, should,…), have, has, had, do, does, did dan lain – lain.
Example in a sentence:
“He is playing soccer now” (present continuous)
“He had eaten the pizza before going to school” (waktu lampau/preterite perfect)
3. Examples of example sentences
- To infinitive
Example sentences:
I want to sing
To be or not to be, that is the question
2. present tense
Verbs that show the present tense. Most use the base form (v1) and for the third person singular (he, she, it) use verb+s(es).
Example sentences:
“She drinks an orange juice”
“They eat gudeg”
3. Past tense
Verbs that show the past tense. Two verbs are used, namely regular verb + ed or irregular.
Example sentences:
“They played football yesterday”
“She had a cup of coffee this morning”
4. Future tense
Verbs that indicate the future. It usually uses the auxiliary verb will.
Example sentences:
“I will go to Jogja tomorrow”
“She will see Iron Man next week”
5. Transitive verb
Transitive verbs are verbs that require a direct object in the sentence. In the example sentences below, the broken and chosen verbs require direct objects, namely the window and Obama. If you don’t use an object, the sentence is incomplete.
An example is like this:
“The student broke the window”
“They elected Obama president”
6. Intransitive verb
Unlike transitive verbs, intransitive verbs do not require an object.
Example sentences:
“She walks 10 miles every day”
“The workers demonstrated outside”

7. Active prayer

Example sentences:
“She eats an apple”
“He reads a magazine”
8. Passive sentence
Passive sentences are different from active sentences. The subject in this sentence is passive or does not perform certain actions or actions. The format of the passive sentence is be+V3.
Example sentences:
“Joko was arrested”
“The car was stolen”
9. Participles
In English there are two types of participles, namely present and past participles. The present participle ends in -ing, while the past participle varies.
