 this is Mark, I'm doing great, thanks for asking. In English there are a myriad of exceptions. We took a look at the present perfect, we took a look at the nouns and also adjectives. In this case though I want to look at what you don't know about verbs. Yes, let's look at verbs. First let's look at what they can act as. Yes, they can act as full verbs or main verbs just like go, walk, paint, etc. They can also act as modal verbs. In this case they need the full verbs or the main verbs to convey their meaning. So modal verbs can be like would, might, may, could, should, etc. They can also act as auxiliary verbs and you know the main auxiliary verbs. They are be, have, and do. They also need full verbs or main verbs in this case to place them in the present or in the past or in the future. So we're going to look at this in a minute. You know that verbs can be statef, dynamic, or even both. So the statef verbs are obviously they don't require movement. They describe states or conditions just like be, feel, love, wish, need, mind, etc. Or we said that we are going to talk about dynamic verbs and these dynamic verbs are obviously the ones that require movement or change. So right, paint, go, slap, come, close, etc. And I said that they can be both and this is the point that I want to talk about. They can be both, yes, both, both dynamic and both statef. So they can change meaning according to the context they are placed in. So let's let's look at be for example. Be can be dynamic and statef. So be your being nasty. If I say you're being nasty in this in this case being the verb to be means to behave in a nasty way. So it's a dynamic verb in this case, right? But if I say you are a nice boy in this case or the verb to be is statef, is a statef verb. So let's look at another example. Have with the verb to have. Yes, have can be both dynamic and statef. So with the dynamic usage, I gave you this example. She's having a shower to have a shower or to take a shower in American English. She's having a shower. In this case, having is dynamic. So have as a statef verb is like she has two brothers or she has tons of books. Okay, it's a statef verb. Let's look at another verb, look. And for a dynamic usage, she is looking for a job. To look for is to search, right? To look for is a phrase of verb. And we're going to look at phrase of verbs in a minute. She's looking for a job. And so this is a dynamic verb in this case. So for a statef case of the verb, we can say that lady looks great. That lady looks great. Other verbs that can be dynamic and statef are see, smell, taste, think, feel, way, measure, etc. I'm going to erase this. I'm going to look at other points of verbs. So by now, you should know that verbs like words in English can have a Latinate or Greek root or Germanic root. The ones that are or have a Latinate or Greek root are considered more sophisticated. So let's look at some examples. We have arrive from arrivare in Latin, arrive and the Germanic or old English root verb could be rich. So another one, apparire in Latin, appear. So is in English right? Appear. And the Germanic or old English verb would be show. Ingest, ingest from Latin and eat from old English or Germanic. Miliorate or cure from Latin to heal is the Germanic or old English. When we talk about verbs, we need to mention phrasal verbs. What are phrasal verbs? They are groups of two or more words that put together creates a whole new meaning. So they follow the pattern verb plus particle plus particle plus particle. It depends, right? So the particle, what is a particle? A particle can be an adverb or a preposition. The phrasal verbs are used mostly in informal context, so orally. But not always. Let's look at some verbs, some phrasal verbs just to see the equivalent with using the Latinate root. So we have look down on, look down on somebody, look down on somebody. If you want to replace this phrasal verb, you can replace it with the spice, which comes from Latin, the spice. Now another example could be talk over, talk over. And the Latinate verb could be discuss, discuss. Then another one could be turn down, turn down. Turn down can have two meanings, right? And we know that turn down the volume, for example, lower the volume or reject. Turn down an offer for a job, for example. I rejected the job, turn down. And then we have call off, cancel, cancel, call off, cancel. So the other point that I want to mention is that verbs can be formed using suffixes or prefixes. So the ones with prefixes, I gave you some examples because there are so many. If you want to watch a lesson on prefixes, suffixes or phrasal verbs, you can click here. So prefixes, let's look at some verbs with this, this charge, this appear, this arm. Then we have with undo, unbend, unfaustion. Now we have another one with miss, right? Misunderstand, and you know what it means, right? Misunderstand, you don't understand, you understood something else. Misunderstand, misshape, misinform, etc. There are so many. Then with suffixes, suffixes are the ones that are at the end. There are two letters or three letters that are put at the end of the words. But if you want to watch a lesson on this, you have the lesson and you may click it here. Now, shorten, lengthen, soften. Then we have realize with eyes, the suffix eyes. So I wrote it in American English, but you can even write it with an S in British English. Realize, industrialize, patronize. Then we have with eat, eat. So irritate, complicate, fascinate. Okay, now I'm going to erase this and I'm going to show you two other points, the last two points about verbs. Just two other things that I need to say about verbs. Verbs can have a past tense, right? You need to remember that verbs can be regular or irregular. There is a lesson on this and you can click here to watch that lesson. But let me remind you that when we add ED to regular verbs, like correct, correct it, you need to pay attention because, okay, correct, correct it. But how about close? Close the, okay, closed. We add the D at the end because we have the E at the end of the verb. So we need to add just the D. And remember also the pronunciation, closed. Now we have cry. What about cry? It ends with Y. We take out the Y and we add IED. So cried. Then the irregular ones, you have to remember them. Like I said, there is a good lesson on regular and irregular verbs. And in this case, in my lesson, I will teach you how to learn the irregular verbs by groups. This will help you remember them in a better way. Now the last point that I want to mention about verbs is that sometimes verbs can act as nouns. They are called jarons. You just add I-N-G at the end of the verb. So they are usually used at the beginning of a sentence. Let's look at my two examples. Smiling is good for you. Smiling is good for you. So the act of smiling is good for you. So you need to smile more. Studying English increases your chances to find a good job. So studying, if you study English, you will find a good job. This is what it means. But studying, again, studying is the jaron here. Studying English increases your chances to find a good job. Well, I hope you enjoyed the lesson.
