Rule 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Subject-verb\u00a0agreement:\u00a0<\/strong>the verbs are customarily followed by the subjects, and they must agree with the subjects according to their\u00a0number\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0person<\/em><\/strong>. See the rules of Subject-Verb Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The variability of the verbs mostly depends on different tenses of the sentences. A form of verbs depends on the time the actions have been performed. See the structures and details of The Present Tense, The Past Tense, and The Future Tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule 3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The verbs are also related to the structures of different sentences and clauses.\u00a0A\u00a0clause\u00a0has only one verb<\/strong>. In fact, a clause cannot contain more than one finite verb but can have participles (without auxiliaries), infinitives, and gerunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • I wanted (main verb)<\/sup> to go (infinitive)<\/sup> to the wedding.<\/li>
  • Swimming(gerund)<\/sup> is(verb)<\/sup> a good exercise to keep (infinitive)<\/sup> your body fit and healthy.<\/li>
  • Pray (verb)<\/sup> for the departed (past participle)<\/sup><\/li>
  • Don\u2019t get(verb)<\/sup> down from a running(present participle)<\/sup> bus.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Rule 4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Clauses can be connected by conjunctions and connectors. Some connectors take some specific forms of verbs. Conditionals use the conjunction\u00a0if<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and it has some different sentence structures. See\u00a0conditionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rule 5:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The connector since<\/em><\/strong> has two usages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. If since<\/em><\/strong> is used to indicate a cause, the verbs of the two clauses will be of the same tense.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • I didn\u2019t go since you didn\u2019t come.<\/li>
      • Since you were busy, I didn\u2019t disturb you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        1. If since is used to indicate time, the verb of the second clause will be different from the first.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • We haven\u2019t seen(present perfect)<\/sup> each other since he left(simple past)<\/sup>.<\/li>
          • It has been 20 years since he played football.<\/li>
          • 20 years passed(simple past)<\/sup> since we had met(past perfect)<\/sup>.<\/li>
          • I could not sleep well for a single night since you had left me.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Rule 6:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            No sooner had, hardly had, scarcely had<\/em><\/strong>, etc. are the adverbials that require a past perfect tense and a past indefinite tense for the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            • No sooner had I reached home than she left.<\/li>
            • Scarcely had the police reached when the man died.<\/li>
            • Hardly had I finished writing before the teacher ordered to stop writing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Rule 7:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Coordinating conjunctions <\/strong>(and, but, or, yet, so<\/em>) and although\/though, as, because, till\/until, when, whenever, as soon as, while, which, what, that,<\/em><\/strong> etc. connect two clauses which have the verbs of the same tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              • We went to London when we were young.<\/li>
              • I got up, and he left the room.<\/li>
              • As soon as I came here, he greeted me.<\/li>
              • I could not go there because I was sick.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Rule 8:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                As conjunctions after<\/em><\/strong> and before<\/em><\/strong> are used to connect two clauses which use past perfect tense and past simple. The past perfect tense always comes with a clause of simple past tense. See the past perfect tense for details and examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Rule 9:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                The conjunction lest<\/em><\/strong> requires a modal should<\/em><\/strong> in the following clause regardless of the tense of the first clause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                • Run faster lest you should miss the bus.<\/li>
                • He will work hard lest he should get fired.<\/li>
                • He worked hard lest he should get fired.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
