Probably no feature of Indonesian is more difficult for foreign learners than verbs. Many students of Indonesian do find that an understanding of the grammatical system can sometimes help improve fluency, correctness and expressiveness. But knowledge of the grammatical system of a language can only complement and never substitute for accurate imitation of models and memorable repetition as tools for the attainment of practical correctness and fluency. There are three kinds of verb: 1. Helper verbs or auxiliary verbs 2. Intransitive verbs 3. Transitive verbs
