Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain the changes that take place with the verb forms due to inflection of the verbs according to person, tense and aspect in the English and Macedonian language. It will analyze the verb as the most important part of the sentence. The verb includes words or a group of words that show different states and situations. The verb is the part of the sentence that makes this group of words a complete piece of communication. However, the action expressed by the verb is closely related to its doer and this basic meaning of the verb is made more complex by other meanings which determine the number, aspect, tense of the verb. The complexity of these grammatical categories which are frequently related to lexical changes, make the verb the most complex structure both in English and in Macedonian and this will be seen in within this paper. Opposite to names, where there is a greater morphological simplicity, the verb is characterized by a great diversity of forms. Through these forms all the syntactical relationships which the verb enters become obvious. There is no doubt that knowledge of grammar rules is essential for the mastery of a language. Knowing the grammar rules — knowing what a verb is, what the present or past tense is — is of limited use unless you know how to apply this knowledge in practice. Moreover, grammar is just one area of what is called ‘linguistic competence’, other areas being, for example, knowledge of vocabulary and phonology. Linguistic competence, in turn, is just one of a number of competences that contribute to the overall communicative competence. It is required to use the knowledge of the language system in order to achieve some kind of communicative purpose no matter which language we use as long as it is being used accurately.
