What is a principle part of verb?

The principle parts of a verb are the different forms of the verb that show its tense (past, present, future) and aspect (completed or ongoing action). These parts are essential for conjugating verbs correctly.

Here are the principal parts of English verbs:

* Base Form: The infinitive form of the verb, usually preceded by "to". (Example: to run, to sing, to eat)

* Past Tense: Indicates an action that occurred in the past. (Example: ran, sang, ate)

* Past Participle: Used in perfect tenses and passive voice. (Example: run, sung, eaten)

* Present Participle: Used in progressive tenses. (Example: running, singing, eating)

Example:

The verb "to run" has the following principle parts:

* Base Form: to run

* Past Tense: ran

* Past Participle: run

* Present Participle: running

Knowing the principal parts of a verb allows you to correctly use the verb in various tenses and forms.
