4. According to different principles of classification, Verbs classifications can be morphological, lexical-morphological, syntactical and functional.

A. Morphological classifications.. I. According to their stem-types all verbs fall into:simple (to improve), sound-replacive (food - to feed, blood - to bleed), stress-replacive (import - to im port, transport - to transport, expanded (with the help of suffixes and prefixes): cultivate, justify, overcome, composite (correspond to composite nouns): to blackmail), phrasal: to have a smoke, to give a smile (they always have an ordinary verb as an equivalent). 2.According to the way of forming: past tenses and Participle II verbs can be regular and irregular.
B. Lexical-morphological classification is based on the implicit grammatical meanings of the verb. According to the implicit grammatical meaning of transitivity/intransitivity verbs fall into transitive and intransitive. According to the implicit grammatical meaning of stativeness/non-stativeness verbs fall into stative and dynamic. According to the implicit grammatical meaning of terminativeness/non-terminativeness verbs fall into terminative and durative. This classification is closely connected with the categories of Aspect and Phase.
C. Syntactic classifications. According to the nature of predication (primary and secondary) all verbs fall into finite and non-finite. According to syntagmatic properties (valency) verbs can be of obligatory and optional valency, and thus they may have some directionality or be devoid of any directionality. In this way, verbs fall into the verbs of directed (to see, to take, etc.) and non-directed action (to arrive, to drizzle, etc.):
D. Functional classification. According to their functional significance verbs can be notional (with the full lexical meaning), semi-notional (modal verbs, link-verbs), auxiliaries.
5.According to the nature of predication verbs can be finite and non – finite
As classification said, the main differences between them is whether they can act as main verb or not. From this we can now that finite verbs can act as main verb, but non – finite can’t.
6. Finite verbs – act as a main verb, used only in present and past tense, be indicative of voice and number. For ex: She works at school, He travelled last year
7. Non – finite verbs – not act as a main verb, don’t indicate tense, mood, gender, be used as noun, adverb, adjective. There are 3 types of them; Gerunds – I like reading. Infinitives -
