Types of Verbs:

1. Action verbs: (dynamic verbs)

                 وہ الفاظ جو کسی کام کا عملی طور پر ہونا بتاۓ۔ 
Action verbs tell us about the action performed by the subject.

Examples:

1. She ate an apple.
2. They play cricket.
3. He breaks a glass. 

In the above examples ate, play and break show some kind of action performed by the subject so they are called action verbs.


2. Stative Verb: (state verb)

"Stative verbs describe a subject's state or feeling, including things they like and don't like." 

  وہ الفاظ جوکام کرنےوالےکی حالت جذبات اور اسکی پسند نا 

                                         پسند کے بارے میں بتاۓ۔ 

Examples:

1. She likes movies.
2. He believes in hard work.
3. They understand the situation.
 

3. Linking Verbs:

As the name shows, they link the subject of the sentence and the other part of a sentence. Mostly they describe words that tell us some detail about the subject of the sentences.


They don't show any action in the sentence.
Am, is, are, were, can be, will be, has, have had, could be would be are generally used as linking verbs. A noun or an adjective often follows them.


There is a difference between the helping verb and the linking verb.

Linking verbs do not show any action, connecting a subject with the noun, adverb, or adjective.

On the other hand, Helping verbs connect the subject with an action verb. They also tell us about the tense of the sentence.

(linking verbs kam krny waly or bqi k sentence ko apis me jorty hy jb k helping verb kcy kam ka past, present,future me hona btaty hy)   


Examples:

1.She is the best player.
2. He was sure about his success.
3. They have beautiful pieces of art.

In the above examples subject (she,he,they)is connected to adjective(best, beautiful)and adverb(sure).

There are some other linking verbs that describe the subject of the sentence, such as feel, seems, appear, looks, smell, grow, remain, sound, etc.


Examples:

1. She seems confused.
2. The perfume smells sweet.
3. He looked handsome in that suit.

In the above examples, seems, smells, and looks describe the subject's state of she, perfume, and he.


4. Auxiliary Verbs: (helping verbs)

 Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verb. They have no meaning of their own. 


They come with the main verb of the sentence and help them describe the sentence's tense. 

They help in making negative & interrogative sentences.

Primary helping verbs and modal helping verbs are two main types.


Primary helping verbs are Be, do, have.


Be: am, is, are, was were, being, been, is being, are being, was being, were being, has been, had been, have been
