What is Base Form of Verb?

The basic form of the verb is the simplest form. These are available without a special ending or appendix themselves but can be modified and added to suit different uses and times.

The basic form is also known as plain form, simple form, or title

The basic verb apply to the present tense of the first and second person first concepts (I walk You walk) and to all the plural ideas (We walk, You walk, and They walk).

The base form is certainly not limited to the present tense. It also works as an infinite (with or without) the present submission of all persons including one third party. Finally, the basic form is used for important emotions. 

The simple past tense indicates that you are talking about something that has already happened. Unlike the continuous past tense, which is used to refer to past events that occurred in a particular period, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is over.

The past participle often, but not always, is made by adding a suffix – designed for action. It can also be paired with a helpful action such as “was,” “were,” “has” and “had” to indicate that the action has been completed.
