This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 Excerpt: ...(1) move, (2) moves, (3) moved, (4) moving, (5) moved. A verb whose past tense and perfect participle are formed by the addition of d or ed to the root is called a regular verb; as, row, rowed; love, loved. All other verbs are classed as irregular.1 1 Most if not all irregular verbs have come down to us from the Anglo-Saxon. They are generally short words, and are much used. All new verbs, and nearly all that have come iuto the language from other sources than the Anglo-Saxon are regular. From the root of a regular verb all the other forms may easily be made. For example, talk is the root form of a regular verb. By adding s we have the second form, talks; by adding ed we have the third and the fifth form, talked; by adding ing we have the fourth form, talking. In naming the forms of a verb, two are usually omitted--the form in s and the form in ing. The first is always made by adding the termination s or es to the root, and the second by adding ing; as, loves, lov-ing; go-es, go-ing; reads, read-ing.1 Three forms, namely, the root, the past tense, and the perfect participle, are called the principal parts of the verb. Exercise. (1) Tell which verbs in the following sentences are regular and which irregular, and why; also give their (three) principal parts. (2) Rewrite the sentences, changing the tense of each verb from the present to the past, or the reverse. 1. The wind sways the trees. 2. In his hand he holds a ballot. 3. The sun withdraws his rays. 4. Clouds of smoke fill the air. 5. James strove for excellence. 6. Mrs. Gray chose the smaller volume. 7. His mates gave him a good name. 8. The plowboy drove his team afield. 9. The youth manages his horses well. 10. These grapes grew by the Hudson. 11. My mother requests my dismissal. 12. The sergeant told ...
