Powerpoint about wordbuilding: verbs

This is a mind map of auxiliary verbs.

2a. What is a verb ?

-a word or phrase that describes an action, condition, or experience:

The words "run", "keep", and "feel" are all verbs.

Some words have a verb form and a noun form

Sometimes the verb and noun form are the same: challenge (v) – Challenge (n)

Sometimes the verb forms are different: achieve (v) – achievement (n)

2b. Identifying verbs

It is not always possible to identify a verb by its form.
However, some word-endings (suffixes) can show that the word is probably a verb.

*Both forms are used, but the -ise form is more common in British English and the -ize form is more common in American English.

- Typical verb prefixes

Verbs often also have these typical prefixes:

However, some words beginning with these prefixes may belong to other word classes (e.g. increase [noun], reception [noun]).

Verbs sometimes have the same form as nouns or adjectives.
