Explanation
A verb shows an action or a state and answers questions like “what did he do?”, “what is he doing?”, “what will he do?”. A verb changes in three tenses: past (yozdi, wrote), present (yozyapti, is writing) and future (yozadi, will write). Mood shows the attitude to the action; for example, the imperative-wish mood: yoz (write), yozsin (let him write); the conditional mood: yozsa (if he writes). Voice shows the relation of the action to the doer and the object: active, reflexive, passive, joint and causative. A negative verb is formed with -ma: yozmadi. By structure, verbs are simple (o‘qimoq), compound (sotib olmoq) and paired (borib-keldi).
