At the behest of the Grammar, the term verb refers to that conjugate part of the sentence that expresses both the action and the state of the subject and also exercises the syntactic function of the core of the predicate.
Within the sentences, the verb will then be the part that expresses the action, existence or state that the subject performs. The verb is the kind of word that can present variation of number, person, mood, aspect and time and usually agree on gender, person and number with some of their arguments or complements. In the particular case of Spanish language, agrees with the subject always in number and almost always in terms of person, the exception being the so-called inclusive subject.
The languages ββin which the verb is conjugated are called inflections. Each of these determines a type of conjugation pattern which will differ from one linguistic system to another. In the language Spanish, almost all verbs are conjugated regularly, according to three unique patterns defined according to the vowel thematic.
There are different types of verbs... Transitive verbs are those that require the presence of a direct object to have a complete meaning, the Intransitive verbs, meanwhile, do not require the aforementioned presence of a direct object to determine it, while Irregular verbs, have particular conjugations for primitive verb tenses such as the present of the indicative mood, the preterite perfect simple, also of the indicative and the future simple corresponding to the same way of the previous ones. And the Regular verbs, are those that conform to the most used conjugation models in the language in question.
Is classification that we provide is the one that occurs most frequently in teaching, but there are more types of verbs, such as impersonal (they are not compatible with the idea of ββa lexical subject), personal third (they happen to a meteorological phenomenon), defective (the paradigm full conjugation) and copulative (They do not provide a full meaning, they are only used to unite the subject and the predicate: to be, to be, to appear, to result, to resemble, to continue).
In the Spanish language, verbs are grouped into different tenses (present, past, future and potential) and three modes (indicative, subjunctive and imperative).
On the other hand and in the Christian religious context, with the term Word, the second person of the Holy Trinity is usually designated and it is usually to write in capital letters.
