Present affirmative form: The form of a verb used to express actions that happen regularly, facts, or general truths in the present time. It typically involves the base verb, with an additional 's' or 'es' for third person singular subjects.
Present negative form: The form used to express actions that do not happen regularly or facts that are not true in the present. It is constructed with 'do not' (or 'does not' for third person singular) followed by the base verb.
Preterit affirmative form: The form of a verb used to describe actions completed in the past. It involves specific past tense forms of the verb, which may be regular (adding -ed) or irregular.
Preterit negative form: The form used to indicate that a specific action did not happen in the past. It is formed with 'did not' followed by the base verb, regardless of whether the verb is regular or irregular.
Base verb (BV): The simplest form of a verb without any tense or inflectional endings. It is used in the present affirmative (except for third person singular), present negative, and preterit negative forms.
