• Some Opinions on verb Deformation

If you want to learn English terms, you may find it difficult to distinguish the different expressions of the plural, such as adding S, es, and changing y to ies. the deformation of the verb makes you feel terrible and abnormal. at this time, you will surely lament how simple and elegant Chinese is. in terms of lexical design, Chinese is definitely more elegant than English. however, in terms of syntax design, Chinese is inferior to English, mainly because many Chinese sentences are not fully organized by syntax. in Chinese, verbs are always used whenever and wherever they are used. temporal expressions are expressed by time-related qualifiers. for example, the words "already", "will", and "past" indicate the tense. in English, tense is a combination of time-limiting words and verb deformation, or you can simply use the deformation of the verb alone.

 

Types of English verb Deformation

The prototype of an English verb is divided into four types: verb current word segmentation, verb past tense, and verb past word segmentation.

The prototype is the original form of a verb. It is also the first form we come into contact with when writing a word. The current Word Segmentation generally indicates the current time. The past word segmentation generally indicates the current time.

Kill monster is my job. My job is to catch a fairy. Kill is a prototype of a verb. The sentence tense is normal now

I am killing monster. I am killing goblin. Killing is the current word segmentation. The sentence tense is the current time.

I killed a monster yesterday. I killed a fairy yesterday. Killed is a past tense. The sentence tense is a general past tense.

I have killed all the monster. I have killed all the goblin. Killed is the past word segmentation. The sentence tense is now complete.

 

In addition, there is a third person singular. Generally, S is added after the verb.

For example, eat --> eats

 

Current Word Segmentation

Currently, word segmentation is generally simple. The main situations are as follows:

1. directly add ing

For example, killing and looking. Most vertices add ing directly. This is the same as adding S directly to the plural nouns.

2. end with an unpronounced E. First E and then ing.

For example, live --> living, hope --> hoping, change --> changing

This is because E has no pronunciation. If e is pronounced in the verb, it will be added to ing directly. For example, knee. e is sent here.

Knee --> kneeing

3. change IE to Y at the end of IE and then add ing

For example, die --> dying, lie --> lying

4. Start the end of a closed syllable with only one consonants at the end. You must double the consonants and add ing.

What is closed-syllable re-reading?

The three conditions are met: re-reading the syllable, issuing a short vowel to the vowel, and finally only one consonant.

Drop --> dropping, begin --> beginning

5. A few non-mainstream dual-writing last consonants, and then add ing

Travel --> traveling (English)

Travel --> traveling (American English)

There is no such rule.

 

 

You may have read the above word segmentation, which is a little too big. I feel as complicated and boring as the plural nouns. however, you will know that there is no worst thing, but it is worse. there are also more abnormal past and past word segmentation that haven't been said yet.

 

 

Past and past Word Segmentation

The past tense is used to indicate what you did in the past.

In the past, Word Segmentation mainly indicates that something has been completed or the table is passive.

 

The prototype and past tense of a verb are divided into the following types:

1. AAA type, prototype, past tense, and past Word Segmentation

This is the simplest, just like Chinese, but there are not many such words in English.

Such as cost, cut, hit, hurt, let, put, read

2. ABB type, only the past fraction, the past word segmentation is the same shape

For example, spend --> spent, get --> got;

ABB is more visible in verbs.However, if the past and past word segmentation are just simple addition of Ed, we will call this verb a rule verb. All other verbs are called irregular verbs.

For example, work --> worked

3. AAB type, only the prototype is the same as the past

For example, beat --> beaten

4. ABA type, only the prototype is the same as the past Word Segmentation

For example, become --> became --> become, run --> ran --> RUN

5. ABC, which are different from each other

For example, begin-> began-> begun, drink-> drank-> drunk

 

 

Some Opinions on verb Deformation

Rule verbs have regular patterns. If you add an Ed, it will be OK, but there will not be many irregular verbs, and you will have to remember them most of the time. besides, there seem to be a lot of irregular verbs. There are hundreds of them. so I learned a lot about it. verb changes may be caused by the fact that different groups of people who used English have different ways of using the verb. When the verb is combined, the customs of all groups are also preserved. so today is what it looks like.

In my opinion, to improve English in the future, the plural nouns may be removed, and all verbs will become rule verbs. of course, too many things are involved in changing the text syntax. it may not have been changed over several hundred years.
