	What is a Verb?
		The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence.
		The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.
		In this sentence, the verb "was" (the simple past tense of "is") identifies a particular person and the verb "remembered" describes a mental action.

	The Verb
		Verbs are a necessary component of all sentences.
		Verbs have two important functions: Some verbs put static objects into motion while other verbs help to clarify static objects in meaningful ways.
		Sometimes a word is a subject, sometimes a verb, sometimes a modifier.

		The point of this verb exercise is to let us explore conjugation and ask ourselves why some verb conjugations are "wrong" or considered not to be the standard.
		The majority pattern for conjugating verbs in English is called the "regular" pattern.
		For verbs such as want we would say: I want to buy that CD today - and we know that the past tense is wanted, the perfect tense is have or had wanted.

		Sometimes the pronoun who, that, or which is the subject of the verb in the middle of the sentence.

	Irregular verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contrast to regular verbs, irregular verbs are those verbs that fall outside the standard patterns of conjugation in the languages in which they occur.
		In Old English, by contrast, the strong verbs are usually not considered irregular, at least not only by virtue of being strong verbs: there were several recognised classes of strong verbs, which were regular within themselves.
		In some languages, the count of irregular verbs could be greatly expanded if one were to count verbs that are irregular only in their spelling, but not in their pronunciation.

	Deponent Verb Exposition @ LaunchBase.org (Launch Base) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A deponent verb is a verb that is active in meaning but takes its form from a different voice, most commonly the middle or passive.
		There is also a verb form called the semi-deponent, where the verb looks active in the present, imperfect, and future tenses but looks passive in the perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect.
		Some verbs are deponent universally, but other verbs are deponent only in certain tenses, or use deponent forms from different voices in different tenses.

		In the English language, a phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition, an adverb, or an adverbial particle, all three of which are uninflected.
		Emphasis in idiomatic phrasal verbs is put on the analysis to ascertain whether either verb or particle have a meaning.
		If neither component has a meaning of its own within the context of the sentence, it confirms the idiomaticity of the whole and all that needs to be noted is whether the idiom is valid and recognised as such.

	Verbs and Verbals
		Verbs that are intransitive do not require objects: "The building collapsed." In English, you cannot tell the difference between a transitive and intransitive verb by its form; you have to see how the verb is functioning within the sentence.
		Sometimes called copulas, linking verbs are often forms of the verb to be, but are sometimes verbs related to the five senses (look, sound, smell, feel, taste) and sometimes verbs that somehow reflect a state of being (appear, seem, become, grow, turn, prove, remain).
		These verb tenses don't have to be identical as long as they reflect, logically, shifts in time and meaning: "My brother had graduated before I started college." "My brother will have graduated before I start." Click HERE for a chart describing various time relationships and how those relationships determine the appropriate sequence of verb tenses.
