Sorry, but what's the meaning of "SVF"?

[ctivnan]

Hiya!

SVF means SIMPLE VERB FORM.

e.g.
1. watch - SVF
watch / watches - PRESENT
watched - PAST
watched - PAST PARTICIPLE
watching - PRESENT PARTICIPLE

2. throw - SVF
throw / throws - PRESENT
threw - PAST
thrown - PAST PARTICIPLE
throwing - PRESENT PARTICIPLE

Hope it's clear now. :)
