Hi Maimnat, there are 5 verb forms. They are as follows. 1)Bare Infinitive. (this means that the infinitive is formed without "to") For example the verb "to be" becomes "be". Examples of bare infinitive verb forms: see, be, wear, go, give, fall 2)Present participle. The present participle verb form is created adding (-ing) to the bare infinitive. It's used in the present and future verb tenses. Examples of Present participle verb forms: seeing, being, wearing, going 3)Third person singular. (He/she/they/it) When you talk about other people. Examples of third person singular verb forms: he sees, she does, he wears, it shrinks, 4)Past tense. Verb forms in the past simple tense Examples of Past tense verb forms: Saw, went, gave, fell, 5)Past Participle. Past participle is the form of a verb used in the "Past Perfect".

I prioritize an open-door policy, allowing my students to feel at ease when they want to discuss questions or concerns with me. I think this availability really helps to build trust and enhance our student-teacher relationship:)
