  2. Verbs Definition: A word that expresses an action or helps to make a statement.

  3. Verb Tenses and Time Verbs can show different times through Tense Forms. PRESENT TENSE- Actions that are happening right now. Ex. She runs fast. PAST TENSE- Actions that took place in the past. Ex. She ran fast. FUTURE TENSE- Actions that will take place in the future. Ex. She will run fast.

  4. Verb Tree Verbs are either Action or Linking or Helping/Auxiliary (aka State of being verbs) Transitive Intransitive Verb phrases are made up of a Helping verb and an Action or Linking verb. (We will go over this later this year.)

  5. Types of Verbs: Action • Action Verbs: Verbs that express an action. • Ex. Run, jump, do, go • Not all actions can be seen (ex. know, believe, think, remember) Which are the action verbs? The cat coughed up a hair ball. The cheese melted. She remembered her homework.

  6. Another type of verb • Linking Verbs: Verbs that help to make a statement by acting as a link between two words. They do not express an action. • Also known as state of being verbs. • Linking verbs could be replaced by an equals sign and the sentence would still mean the same thing. • Ex. Lucky is a leprechaun. Means the same as… Lucky = a leprechaun.

  7.

  9. Helping Verbs Helping Verb: A form of the verb BE that helps to express an action. - Sometimes the helping verb and main verb are together. Ex. She will run soon. - Sometimes the helping verb and main verb are separated by other words. Ex. We could never have moved that car alone.
