Kali ini akan kami jelaskan secara singkat mengenai tipe-tipe dari verb (kata kerja) dalam bahasa inggris karena tidak semua kata kerja dalam bahasa inggris sama. Kata kerja dalam bahasa inggris dibagi menjadi tiga, yaitu:
1. Continuous Verbs
Continuous Verbs, pada umumnya kata kerja bahasa inggris bertipe jenis ini. Ciri yang menonjol adalah verbs ini merupakan kegiatan secara fisik yang biasa dilakukan orang.
Misalnya: to run, to walk, to eat, to fly, to go, to say, to touch, etc.
Contoh:
I eat bread every morning.
I am eating dinner now.
2. Non Continuous Verbs
Pada Non Continuous Verbs, ciri yang menonjol adalah verbs ini merupakan sesuatu yang tidak bisa orang kerjakan. Kata kerja ini jarang digunakan dalam “continuous” tenses.
Adapun macam-macam dari Non Continuous Verbs adalah sebagai berikut:
Abstract Verbs
to be, to want, to cost, to seem, to need, to care, to contain, to owe, to exist, etc.
Possession Verbs
to possess, to own, to belong, etc.
Emotion Verbs
to like, to love, to hate, to dislike, to fear, to envy, to mind, etc.
Contoh:
He is here, now. (benar)
He is being here, now. (salah)
He wants a drink, now. (benar)
He is wanting a drink, now. (salah)
3. Mixed Verbs
