* Language is constantly changing: New verbs are created all the time, and old ones fall out of use.
* There are thousands of languages: Each language has its own unique set of verbs.
* Some languages are very complex: They might have many different verb forms depending on tense, mood, aspect, and person.
Instead of a complete list, here are some ways to understand verbs better:
* Verb Classes: Many languages classify verbs into groups based on how they function in sentences. Common categories include transitive (take a direct object), intransitive (don't take a direct object), and auxiliary (helping verbs).
* Verb Tenses: Most languages express time with verb tenses (past, present, future). Some also have more specific tenses like the perfect or progressive.
* Verb Moods: Mood indicates the speaker's attitude towards the action (indicative, imperative, subjunctive).
* Verb Aspects: Aspect describes how an action unfolds over time (perfective, imperfective, progressive).
Learning about these categories and concepts will help you understand verbs in any language.
