In this article, I will share most common verbs in English. These 100 most common verbs can be used to practice conversation. I have attached a pdf file that can be downloaded for further study. Moreover, I have shared the link of 150 sentences of present perfect tense, past perfect tense and future perfect tense because these tenses confuse the basic learners. So, you can read these verbs with examples by relating to the attached 150 sentences.
I would like to share a tip to use these verbs because most of the students forget them when they try to memorize. Do not memorize them, but pick any verb and make at least four to five examples in your own words. These verbs are easy to understand and quite common in the society so, you need not worry about the meanings and translations.
