Verb Concept Map Overview

A verbs concept map organizes English verbs by their job in a sentence. The main branches are action verbs, linking verbs and helping verbs, which show what the subject does, what it is, or how another verb is formed. Each type links to tenses, such as past, present and future, and to verb forms like infinitive, participle and gerund.

  • Action verbs: show physical or mental activity in a sentence.
  • Linking verbs: connect the subject to a description, such as be or seem.
  • Helping verbs: support main verbs, such as has, will or should.
  • Tenses: show when an action happens relative to now.
  • Verb forms: infinitive, past participle, present participle and gerund.

Use the map to check how each verb type fits a sentence, then revise tenses one branch at a time. Generate a personalized verb map from your own grammar notes with CogniGuide.

How many verb tenses are there in English?

English has three main time frames, past, present and future, and each has simple, progressive, perfect and perfect progressive aspects. Together these give twelve common tense patterns used in everyday writing.

Which file types can I use to make a verb map?

You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type a topic such as verb tenses.

Can I turn my verb map into a quiz?

Yes. Once your map is generated, you can turn it into a quiz to practice identifying verb types and tenses. The same notes can also become flashcards.
