Tipos de verbos en inglés

Existen distintas formas de clasificar a los verbos en inglés.

Según su transitividad, pueden ser:

• Verbos transitivos. Aceptan un objeto directo. Por ejemplo: love, tell, play.
• Verbos intransitivos. No aceptan un objeto. Por ejemplo: live, work, come.

Según su forma de conjugación, pueden ser:

• Verbos regulares. Agregan la terminación -ed para formar el past simple y el past participle. Por ejemplo: visit (visited), complain (complained), walk (walked).
• Verbos irregulares. No agregan la terminación -ed. Por ejemplo: go (went), eat (ate), sleep (slept).

Existen las phrasal verbs (frases verbales), que son verbos formados por dos partes: un verbo más una preposición o adverbio, que juntos forman un nuevo verbo con un nuevo significado. Por ejemplo: come back (volver), call for (exigir), carry out (realizar).
