  What is a verb?
Types of verbs.
Verbs are words of action. They are about doing. Used well, they action can be used for your purpose. 
There I used this division of verbs according to meaning to explain what a verb is. Those who know grammar well call this division of verbs a semanticclassification.
  • action words (action verbs)
  • being
  • having
Now you know the names of different verbs and how they are classified. We can classify them in three ways...
  1. according to their role in a sentence (i.e. syntactically),
  2. or based on their formation (morphologically),
  3. or their meaning (semantically).
We say that a verb is a part of speech (or word class) that describes an action or occurrence or indicates a state of being. Generally, it makes more sense to define a verb by what it does than by what it is. Just as the "same" word (rain or snow, for example) can serve as either a noun or a verb, the same verb can play a number of different roles depending on how it's used. Put simply, verbs move our sentences along in a variety of ways.
Here, by identifying 10 types of verbs, we'll briefly consider some of their more common functions as well. For additional examples and more detailed explanations of these verb forms and functions, follow the links to our Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms.
  1.Main and auxiliary verbs
·         The auxiliary verb do does not have an infinitive — even though do is also a main verb and in that sense is often used in the infinitive. One does not say *I asked to do not have to, but rather, either I asked not to have to or I asked to not have to (but seesplit infinitive). Similarly, one cannot emphasize an infinitive using do; one cannot say, "I hear him do say it all the time."
·         Nonetheless, the auxiliary verbs have (used to form the perfect) and be (also used to form the passive voiceand continuous aspect) both commonly appear in the infinitive: "It's thought to have been a ceremonial site", or "I want to be doing it already." "I was supposed to have (already) gone" vs "I should have (already) gone."
·         A sentence or phrase can have two interlocked verbs. The main verb gives the primary action, whilst the auxiliary verb adds subtle detail.  The primary auxiliaries are be, have,and do. ( I had fun) An auxiliary verb (also know as a helping verb) determines the mood or tense of another verb in a phrase: "It will rain tonight."  The modal auxiliaries include can, could, may, must, should, will, and would.                                                   
 2.Modal verbs
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that add 'mood', most commonly imperative and probability. These can be very useful in persuasive situations, as they cause people to think.
You should think about this.
It may rain tomorrow.
Modal verbs often appear in the subjunctive mood:
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Signals of the subjunctive include 'if' and, particularly, 'were' (as opposed to 'was').
3.Regular Verbs
A regular verb (also known as a weak verb) forms its past tense and past participle by adding -d or -ed (or in some cases -t) to the
base form: "We finished the project."
4.Irregular Verbs
An irregular verb (also known as a strong verb) doesn't form the past tense by adding -d or -ed: "Gus ate the wrapper on his candy bar."
5.The negative verb.
There is a so-called negative verb in Finnish, which declines according to person and, in effect, removes the affirmative verb's personal suffix, e.g. puhun 'I talk' becomes en puhu 'I don't talk'.
 
CONCLUSION MORE IMPORTANTS.
Verbs are words of action. They are about doing. Used well, they action can be used for your purpose. 
Verbs can be divided according to the job they do in a sentence. The grammar-expert's way of saying this is that we can divide verbs syntactically.
These are the divisions and sub-divisions according to syntax:
  • finite verbs.A finite verb expresses tense and can occur on its own in a main clause: "She walked to school."
·         The auxiliary verb do does not have an infinitive — even though do is also a main verb and in that sense is often used in the infinitive.
·         modal auxiliaries. Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that add 'mood', most commonly imperative and probability
We know that verbs are words, just like any other part of speech. The words that represent the verbs follow different patterns of spelling or sound. Verbs can, therefore, be divided into various kinds depending upon how they are formed.Grammarians would call this a morphological division.
  • regular verbs. A regular verb (also known as a weak verb) forms its past tense and past participle by adding -d or -ed
  • irregular verbs. An irregular verb (also known as a strong verb) doesn't form the past tense by adding -d or -ed:
