Can any one tell me the proper definition of verb?
A verb is a 'doing' or 'action' verb, which describes the action of a pronoun (I, you, he, she). In English, verb infinitives are preceded by 'to', such as 'to jump', 'to eat', or 'to be'.
I know there are classifications of verb.But i don know what they are called.
Can you kindly tell me that?

You mean different types of verb, like modal verb, or you mean different parts of a verb, different conjugations?
A modal verb is a verb where in English, 'to' can not be put before the common part. Like 'can', the actual infinitive is 'to be able', or 'should', or 'must' ('to have to'). I suppose they act rather like adverbs really - there is normally an infinitive following them, and the modal verb just describes someting about that.
e.g. I can eat. This means that I have the ability to eat.
I should go - this means that I ought to go, it would be in my better interests to go.
Or do you mean a part of a verb, like 'am' 'is' 'are' 'was' 'were' and 'be' are all parts of the verb 'to be'?
