Verb Form / Types of Forms for Verbs : Yours Query

What is the forms of a verb?

Forms of verb is adding little shape to the meaning of a verb according the situation.

For example we do little changes to the main verb while telling about the verb(action) occur, occurred or will occur. Like the action occurred now, few minutes back, few hours back, long back, occurs on regular basis, occurring now, was occurring in the past, will be occurring in the future. So based on this situations we do changes to the meaning of main verb and that is called forms of a verb.

There are five types of forms for a verb in English language.

1. Base Form
2. Past Form
3. Past Partciple Form
4. s/is/ies Form(Third person singular)
