While being a life long user of the English Language. Having written many presentations for public consumption. Also the editor (especially tense) for NIH grants, and various other IT and Academic technical publications. I do not recall the term, in English proper verb. There are adverbs to install additional fortitude to a verb. Not a proper verb. Some Germanic languages do use a variety of verb types, German, Dutch, Flemish, Danish, languages for an example. The conjugation of verbs is a "whole other country" that have been removed in US English. I can not speak to the other English Flavors, GB, CA, CA-NF, CA-BC, NZ, AU, SA, ... idk how many there are? Verbs in Deutsch are quite complex and multi-leveled. In German class, verb conjugation is/was called "diktat". You may see a pattern. It was about as difficult as memorizing the Periodic Table. Present - singular & plural Compount Past - singular & plural Past Perfect- "" "" Future Tense - "" "" Furture Perfect - "" "" There are three command (imperative) forms. The subjunctive is a mood, not a tense. also Singular & Plural. The Subjunctive II is based on the simple past tense (Imperfekt). Singular & Plural. I got this from my German 2 textbook "Spreken und Lesen" Speaking & Reading. I hope I didn't go too far, but there are "Parts" of the German language being sloshed into common English. Uber, Verboten, are a few examples. Super - Higher & Forbidden.
