English Lesson: Verbs

 Verbs are action words! They tell us what someone or something is doing.

Here's a breakdown to help you understand them:

Types of Verbs

• Action Verbs: These verbs describe actions, like run, jump, eat, sleep, write.

  • Examples:
    • The dog ran after the ball.
    • She eats an apple every day.

• Linking Verbs: These verbs connect the subject to a word that describes or identifies it. Common linking verbs include be, become, seem, appear, feel.

  • Examples:
    • He is happy. (Connects "He" to "happy")
    • The sky appears cloudy. (Connects "sky" to "cloudy")

• Helping Verbs: These verbs work with main verbs to create verb phrases. Common helping verbs include be, have, do, can, will, should.

  • Examples:
    • I am going to the store. ("am" helps "going")
