  3. Verbs • A verb is a word used to express action or otherwise helps to make a statement.

  4. Classes • Two classes of verbs • Action verbs (used to express action) • Linking verbs (help to make a statement)

  5. Action Verbs • Large group • Examples: • Fred found his folder. • Rudolph wrote a riddle. • Sally scorched her skirt • Action verbs convey some action in which the subject was engaged.

  6. Linking Verbs • Smaller group, but some are the most common. • Examples: • Sam is silly. • The soup smells good. • Larry looks upset. • Linking verbs DO NOT convey any activity on the part of the subject; they help describe the subject.

  7. Practice • Underline the verb and indicate whether it is an Action or Linking Verb. • The ghost appeared in the hallway. • John felt sick after lunch. • Please stay in the house. • Jenny looks beautiful in that dress.

Grammar: Tuesday Learning Targets • I can define and identify verbs • I can identify the difference between Action and Linking Verbs • I can identify and use correctly the three verb tenses • Present, Past, and Future • I can use the Tense-Shift Test for Verbs • I can recite and define this weeks vocabulary

  12. Defining Characteristic • All verbs must be capable of being used in the three verb tenses. • Tenses: • Present, Past, and Future • If a word cannot be used in these forms, it cannot be a verb.

  13. Examples • Present: • Alfred answersthe phone in the mornings. • Terry always tells the truth. • Past: • Alfred answered the phone. • Terry told the truth. • Future: • Alfred will answer the phone tomorrow. • Terry will tell the truth.

  14. Present Tense • Present-tense has a distinct -(e)sending. • This ending is ONLY used when thesubject is one of the third-person singular pronouns he, she, it OR can be replaced by 3rd-Sg-Pro.

  15. Present-tense Examples Examples John always answers every question. He Alicetells us when it is time to go. She The gauge on the lefttells the pressure. It Exceptions

  16. Present-tense When the subject is NOT a third-person singular pronoun (or a noun that can be replaced by one), the present tense has no distinctive form – it is the same as the base form. Base form is also known as the dictionary form. Examples I answer the phone in the mornings. You always tell the truth. * Exception Be (base form); (present-tense forms) I am, You are, He/she/it is etc…

Grammar: Thursday Learning Targets • I can define and identify verbs • I can identify the difference between Action and Linking Verbs • I can identify and use correctly the three verb tenses • Present, Past, and Future • I can use the Tense-Shift Test for Verbs • I can recite and define this weeks vocabulary

  26. Future Tense Future-tense is COMPLETELY regular; it consists of the helping verb will plus the base form of the verb.

  27. Future-tense

  28. Tense-shift Test for Verbs Shift the word into either the past-tense or future-tense form. If the result is grammatical (and the meaning of the sentence has not been otherwise changed), then the word must be a verb. Example Noun: The chain is rusty. Verb: We chain the dogs every night. Past tense: *The chained is rusty. Future tense: *The will chain is rusty. Past tense: We chained the dogs every night. Future tense: We will chain the dogs every night.

  29. What is so important about verbs? The ability to recognize verbs is absolutely key to working out the grammar of sentences. The fact that only verbs can be shifted to the past or future tense provides an easy and completely reliable way to identify verbs.
