THE VERBS

T. Angel Nuñez

Definition
A verb is a word that expresses
an action, occurrence, or state of
being. It is essential because it
brings a sentence to life!

Examples:
Action verb: "She runs every
morning." (action = runs)
Occurrence verb: "It happened
suddenly." (occurrence =
happened)
State of being verb: "They are
happy." (state = are)

Types of Verbs:
1. Action Verbs
These describe something
happening or being done.
Example: "He plays the
guitar." (plays = action)

2. Linking Verbs
These link the subject to
additional information about the
subject. Common linking verbs
include is, are, was, seem.
Example: "She seems tired."
(seems = linking verb)
3. Auxiliary Verbs
These are used together with
the main verb to show tense,
mood, or voice. Common helping
verbs include has, have, will, do.
Example: "They will go to the
park." (will = helping verb, go
= main verb) 4. Transitive Verb
These need an object to
complete their meaning.
Example: "He writes stories."
(stories = object)

5. Intransite Verbs
These do not require an object.
Example: "She sleeps." (no object
needed)
VERB EXAMPLES
IN DIFFERENT
TENSES
Verb Examples in the
Simple Tenses
I bake everyday – here the sentence works
as a simple present tense sentence. Let’s
change it to past.
I baked everyday – changing it to past
simple tense means we say ‘baked’ not
‘bake’. This shows that ‘I’ used to bake
everyday, but don’t any longer.
