According to the nature of predication (primary and secondary) all verbs fall into finite and non-finite
according to syntagmatic properties (valency) verbs can be of obligatory and optional valency, and thus they may have some directionality or be devoid of any directionality. In this way, verbs fall into directed and non-directed action
Lexical-morphological classification
according to the implicit grammatical meaning of transitivity/non-transitivity fall into stative and dynamic
according to the implicit grammatical meaning of transitivity/intransitivity verbs fall into transitive and intransitive
According to the implicit grammatical meaning of terminativeness/non-terminativeness verbs fall into terminative (imply a limit beyond which the action cannot continue they have a final aim in view) and durative (denote an action which does not imply any limit, that is without an end in view)
