Correct Use of Verb Exercises With Answers for Class 6 CBSE –

English Grammar

1. Verb comes from the Latin verbum, meaning, a word. It is so called

because it is the most important word in a sentence. A verb is a word used to
assert something about some person or thing.
A verb may tell us –

1. What a person or thing does; as;

He sings a song.
The clock ticks.
2. What is done to a person or thing; as:
The teacher scolded him.
The window pane is broken.
3. What a person or thing is; as:
The lion is dead.
I feel sorry for what I did.

2. A verb often consists of more than one word; as;

I have read the book.
The ball has been lost.

3. Forms of Verbs:
There are three forms of verb: Infinitive, Past Simple and Past Participle For
example:
 Infinitive Past Simple Past Participle

be was/were been

blow blew blown

drink drank drunk

feed fed fed

hang hung hung

know knew known

lead led led

teach taught taught

4. Regular and Irregular Verbs

Regular Verbs
If a verb is regular, the Past Simple and Past Participle end in -ed; as:

Infinitive clean finish use point stop

carry
Past simple, cleaned finished used pointed stopped
carried
Past participle

Spelling tips:

1. If a word ends in the consonant -y (baby, carry, easy etc.) y changes

to i before the ending -ed, e.g. hurry – hurried; study – studied; apply –
applied; try – tried, (a, e, i, o and u are vowel letters. The other letters
b, c, d, f, g etc. are consonant letters)
2. If a verb ends in -e, we add -d for the past of regular verbs; e.g.
hope/hoped;
smile/smiled; dance/danced and confuse/confused.
3. Sometimes a word ends in vowel + consonant, e.g. stop, plan, rub etc.
In such cases before the endings –ed, we double the consonant at
the end. So, p becomes pp, n becomes nn; as in:
stop – stopped; plan – planned; rub – rubbed.
1. When the past simple/past participle do not end in -ed (for
example, I saw/ I have seen etc.) the verb is irregular.
With some irregular verbs, all three forms (infinitive, past
simple and past participle) are the same, for example hit:
Don’t hit me. (infinitive)
Somebody hit me when I went to market.
I have never hit anybody in my life, (past participle –
present perfect) Mohan was hit on the head by a stone,
(past participle – passive)
2. With other irregular verbs, the past simple is the same as
the past participle (but different from the infinitive). For
example, tell – told:
Can you tell me about Sharan?
She told me to come back the next day. (past simple)
Have you told anybody about changing your school? (past
participle – present perfect)
I was told to come back the next day (past participle –
passive)
3. With other irregular verbs, all three forms are different, for
example, wake – woke/woken:
I will wake you up. (infinitive)
I woke up in the middle of the night, (past simple)
The baby has woken up. (past participle – present perfect)
I was woken up by a loud noise (past participle – passive)
4. The following verbs can be regular or irregular:
bum – burned or burnt smell – smelled or smelt
dream – dreamed or dreamt spell – spelled or spelt
lean – leaned or leant spill – spilled or spilt
learn – learned or learnt spoil – spoiled or spoilt
