  1. Verbs Unit 3

  2. Action Verbs • The verb is the main word in the predicate. • Most verbs are action verbs. • An action verb tells what the subject does or did. • It shows action. • waddle • burp • chortle • slither • snort • giggle

  3. Action Verbs • Sometimes you can’t actually see the action of action verbs. • think • know • love • understand • desire

  4. Direct Objects • A direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. • A direct object (DO) will always be a noun or pronoun. • It will also come after an action verb. • We ate pizza after the game. • Pizza is the direct object. • The boys played baseball in the street. • Baseball is the direct object.

  5. Direct Objects • To find a direct object, ask who? or what? after a verb • My mother cooked pot roast for dinner. • The verb is cooked. Cooked what? Pot Roast • Pot roast is the direct object • Jimmy rode his bike to the library. • The verb is rode. Rode what? His bike. Bike is the direct object

  6. Tense • Verb tense tells us during what time an action occurred • There are three basic tenses • Present • Past • Future • Present describes that is happening now • Past describes what has already happened • Future describes what has not yet happened

  7. Present tense • Present tense verbs refer to action that is happening now • Jack plays basketball . • Plays is the verb. • A subject and verb must agree • If the subject if singular, then the verb must be singular. • If the subject if plural, then the verb must be plural.

  8. Present tense • Forming singular and plural verbs • a singular verb is formed by adding an –s to the end (in the present tense only) • Abigail walks to swimming practice every Saturday morning. • A plural verb is formed by taking away an –s at the end (in present tense only) • The girls walk to swimming practice every Saturday morning.

  9. Present Tense • Rules for adding –s or –es • If a verb ends in –s, -ch, -sh, -x, or –z, add an –es to the verb • watches • buzzes • If a verb ends with a consonant + y, change the y to I and add –es • hurries • tries

  10. Past Tense • The past tense refers to an action that has already happened • Mrs. Murray made coffee this morning. • Mrs. Murray graded papers last night. • These are actions that happened already and are over (not happening any more).

  11. Past Tense • To form the past tense • Usually, add –ed or –d to a verb to make it past tense • Walked, talked, played, stopped • Some verbs are irregular, meaning that they don’t form the past tense just by adding an –ed. • Ate, sang, drove, read

  12. Future Tense • The future tense shows an action that hasn’t happened yet but will happen later. • The fifth graders will win the Spelling Bee. • The landscapers will rake the leaves from the yard on Saturday.

  13. Future Tense • To form the future tense • It is important to note that all future tense verbs have a helping verb. • The helping verbs are usually will or shall • There can be other helping verbs with will or shall • We shall have a lovely picnic on Sunday at the park. • The Martins will be eating ribs for dinner. • Neither of these actions have happened yet, but they will.
