=== Importance of Verbs in Telugu === | |||
Verbs in Telugu convey actions, states, and occurrences. They are essential for forming sentences and expressing ideas. Unlike English, Telugu verbs undergo various changes based on tense, aspect, mood, and the subject of the sentence. This complexity adds richness to the language but can be challenging for beginners. By mastering verbs, you will unlock the ability to communicate effectively in everyday conversations. | |||

Telugu verbs can be categorized into different types based on their usage. Here are the main categories we will explore: | |||
