(1)BAØI MỞ ĐẦU ĐỘNG TỪ VERB

Modal verb : (must, can, may, might, could, should …) Verb :
Regular verb : (open, close, clean, remember…) Ordinary verb :
Irregular verb : (run, write, speak, drive…)
Động từ tiếng Anh có hai loại: động từ đặc biệt (special verb) động từ thường (ordinary verb)
(1) Động từ đặc biệt gồm có:
* Động từ trợ (auxiliary verb) : be (dùng để chia tiếp diễn, thể thụ động), have (dùng để chia hồn thành), do (dùng để chia thể phủ định nghi vấn)
- He is working hard this month (thì tiếp diễn) - The house was built five years ago (thể thụ động)
- He has learned English for two years (thì hồn thành) - Do you like tea ? (thể nghi vấn)
- She does not like coffee (thể phủ định)
* Động từ khiếm khuyết (modal verb) : cần phải có động theo sau - We must study hard
- He can play the piano
Đặc điểm chung động từ đặc biệt đổi sang thể phủ định ta cần thêm NOT vào sau động từ đổi sang thể nghi vấn ta đưa động từ đầu câu
- He is not working hard this month - Is he working hard this month ? - He has not found his book - Have you seen her yet ? - She cannot swim - Should we go there ? (2) Động từ thường gồm có :
* Động từ có qui tắc (regular verb) : động từ thành lập khứ đơn (simple past) hay khứ phân từ (past paticiple) ta cần thêm –ED vào sau động từ

(2)to go went gone
to write wrote written
to run ran run
to hit hit hit
- He went to the cinema last night (simple past ) - He has gone out (past participle)
Động từ thường có chung đặc điểm đổi sang thể phủ định nghi vấn ta phải dùng động từ trợ “to do” Ta thêm NOT vào sau động từ trợ thể phủ định đưa động từ trợ đầu câu thể nghi vấn
- He did not go to the pub last night - Did he go to the cinema last night ? - I do not like tea
- Do you enjoy classical music ? - She does not know the answer - Does he understand the lesson ?
* Động từ “to do” vừa động từ thường vừa động từ trợ - He does his homework (động từ thường)
