What Are the 5 Forms of Verbs? List of 91 Verbs

In English, verb forms change depending on the situation.

Therefore, you need to know verb forms.

There are five forms of verbs. They are 

1. Base form, or, we can say, present tense
2. Past tense
3. Past participle
4. Present participle
5. Infinitive

Uses of forms of verbs

We can use these five verb forms in different sentences.

We use the base form in present tense sentences.

We use the past form in past-tense sentences. These are formed by adding ‘-ed’ to the base form of regular verbs.

We use the past participle in sentences in the present, past, and future perfect tenses. These are also formed by adding -ed to the base form of regular verbs.

The infinitive form of a verb can function as different parts of speech in a sentence. Infinitives are formed by adding ‘to’ to the base form of a verb. Although infinitives are verb forms, they do not act as verbs. Therefore, we should include at least one finite verb with the infinitive to complete the meaning of the sentence.
