Verbs have 5 forms:

the base verb -- run, walk

the third person singular -- runs, walks

the past form -- ran, walked

the past participle -- run, walked

the present participle -- running, walking.

Verbs show tenses - past present future. Some tenses are made with only the base verb some are made with two or more verbs, using for example: will or have or am, is, are

present tense -- run, runs, am/is/are running, walk, walks, am/is/are walking

past tense -- ran was/ were running, walked was/were walking

future -- will run, will walk, going to run, going to walk

Verbs and subject must agree.

singular subjects go with singular verb phrases -- he runs, she walks -- he/she = subject

plural subjects go with plural verb phrases -- they run, we walk -- they/we = subject

examples:

singular subject = the boy -- The boy likes ice cream

plural subject = the girls -- The girls like ice cream.

singular subject = my brother -- My brother listens to the radio

plural subject = my sisters -- My sisters watch TV
