Meaning groups of verbs
Verbs divide into meaning groups by the kind of action or state they express. Speech verbs relate to speaking: gapirmoq, aytmoq, so‘ramoq (to ask), javob bermoq (to answer), so‘zlamoq. Mental verbs relate to thinking: o‘ylamoq (to think), bilmoq (to know), anglamoq (to understand), eslamoq (to remember). Physical-activity verbs are jobs done with the body: yugurmoq (to run), yozmoq (to write), qurmoq (to build), sakramoq (to jump), ekmoq (to sow). State verbs express a condition or feeling: uxlamoq (to sleep), quvonmoq (to rejoice), charchamoq (to get tired), sarg‘aymoq (to turn yellow). A verb may sometimes fall between groups, so we decide from the meaning in the sentence.
“Four groups”: the four meaning groups are written on the board; children stick verb cards under the right group.
