Verb Forms 动词形态
Verbs are a lot more complicated than just being a word that represents an action, state of being, or the occurrence of an event. Verbs also have different forms that indicate what point in time an action or event took place (i.e. when something happened or occurred e.g. did it happen the past, is it happening now, or will it happen in the future).
动词不仅表示动作、状态或事件发生的情况，它还有几种不同的形态。这些形态可以表明动作发生的时间和状态。
The process of changing a verb from its present form to either of the verb’s past or future forms is called conjugation, and knowing how to conjugate verbs is a very important aspect of English grammar.
把动词从原来的形态变成不同类型的形态称为动词的变形。动词的变形时英语语法中很重要的内容。
Conjugation /kɒndʒʊˈɡeɪʃən/ 变形 /gòngè/
In linguistics, conjugation refers to the creation of different forms of a verb from its principal parts by altering the word according to rules of grammar.
在语言学中，动词变形指的是根据英语语法规则可以将一个词变成集中不同类型的形态。
English has 4 main verb forms: base form, past form, present participle, and past participle. But what is a ‘participle’? A ‘participle’ is a form of a verb that is used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase, verb, or verb phrase.
动词有四种形态：原形，过去式，现在分词和过去分词。什么是“分词”？ “分词”是动词的一种形态，在句子中用来修饰名词、名词短语、动词或动词短语。
Conjugating Verbs 动词变形
Modifying a ‘regular verb’ is done by adding either ‘-ed/-d’ or ‘-ing’ to the end of the principal part of the verb. To create the ‘present participle’ the ending ‘-ing’ is added to the verb, and for both the ‘past’ and ‘past participle’ the ending ‘-ed/-d’ is added. Look at the reference table below. Note: there are some exceptions to these rules.
对于规则动词，通常在原形后面加-ing变为“现在分词’，加-d或-ed变为“过去式”和“过去分词”。 请参考下表：

| Past 过去式 | Add ‘-ed/-d’ | looked |
| Past Participle 过去分词 | Add ‘-ed/-d’, and is use after the words: (has/have/had) | (has/have/had) looked |
