 Moving down our list of parts of speech we have our verbs. The first big difference between verbs that we need to look at is whether that's an action verb or a state verb. Our action verbs as the name suggests means that we typically can see these things in action. We can see people working and we certainly see people going to various places. Now we have our state verbs. These are basically indicating a state of being. Two examples would be seem and have or own. We have a sentence such as he seems angry and I own my house. You can't actually see the action happening even though those words are used as verbs. A very big differentiation between the two here as well is state verbs typically don't take the progressive or continuous form. That form is the verb plus ing. As I said before he seems angry. It would be very awkward to hear someone say he's seeming angry. Additionally own. I said I own my house. It would seem very awkward to hear somebody say he is owning his house. However these action verbs do often take the ing form. We could easily say they are working or they are going. These are the progressive or continuous forms of the verb. We'll get into that when we talk about our various tenses. Another important type of verb is the auxiliary verb. More commonly referred to as the helping verb. These verbs aren't the main verbs within a sentence but they help us form various structures. For instance they can help us make questions. If I ask the question do I live in Tokyo? Do is the auxiliary verb. It's helped me form the question. It helps us form negatives. If I said I do not live in Tokyo. Again it's helping me form the negative statement in the auxiliary verb there is do. It helps us form the short answers. If I were to be asked do you live in Tokyo? I can form the short answer yes I do. Here the auxiliary verb in the short answer must reflect the auxiliary verb used in the question.
