Verb (some review, some new) Because you might still be confused...

Lesson 1: What is a verb? A verb is a word used to express an action, a condition, or a state of being. 3 types of verbs: action verbs linking verbs helping verbs Can you remember what each type does/is?

Action, Linking, and Helping action verb- what a subject does (physically or mentally) example: Mia climbs up the mountain. linking verb- links subject to a word in the predicate (always comes before a noun or an adjective) example: Lillian seems irritated with her teacher. helping verb- helps main verb express precise shades of meaning (always comes before an action verb) example: Dakota has watched that movie four times! Remember: one or more helping verbs with a main verb is called a verb phrase.

Lesson 2: Direct Objects Action verbs are sometimes followed by words that complete their meaning. Direct Object: names the receiver of the action and comes after an action verb. This answers whom or what about the verb. Example sentence: Mason saw a beautiful bird. What are the questions that we ask about the sentence to help us find the direct object? Who/what is the subject? (Mason) What is the subject doing? (saw) Who or what did he see? (bird) Direct object = bird

Underline the direct objects A movie crew includes many people. The director then gives roles. After that, the director explains the mood of the movie. Makeup artists work their magic on the actors. A movie set provides many creative jobs.

Lesson 2: Indirect Objects 2. Indirect Object: tells to whom or to what OR for whom or for what an action is done. Example sentence: Jacob sends his relative a letter. What are the questions that we ask about the sentence to help us find the indirect object? Who/what is the subject? (Jacob) What is Jacob doing? (sends) Who or what is Jacob sending? (letter) To whom or to what is Jacob sending the letter? (relative) Indirect Object= relative

Underline the indirect objects and circle the direct objects Riley told his mother a lie. Sometimes cats bring their owners dead mice. Taylor built the neighborhood birds a small house. Ava wrote her friend a poem.

Transitive and Intransitive verbs An action verb that has a direct object is called a transitive verb. Jordan put his drink on the table. verb= put direct object= drink Transitive! An action verb that DOES NOT have a direct object is called an intransitive verb. The dog moved quickly through the house. verb= moved no direct object (quickly is just an adverb) Intransitive!

Underline the action verb, and then write “T” for transitive and “IT” for intransitive. I baked some cookies. Elijah created a poster for his project. The book fell quietly. The horse galloped through the woods. Lexi smelled the scent of pie in the air.

Lesson 3: Linking Verbs and Predicate Words Linking verbs will connect with either a predicate noun or a predicate adjective. predicate noun: follows a linking verb and renames the subject Example: Star Wars is a science fiction film. What is the noun in the predicate that RENAMES what Star Wars is? Film! predicate adjective: follows the linking verb and gives more description about the subject Example: Science fiction films are popular. What is the adjective in the predicate that describes science fiction? Popular!

Write either PN (predicate noun) or PA (predicate adjective) above each underlined word Not all grizzly bears are scary. Tim seemed nervous about the test. The Harry Potter series is a number one seller. The food in the cafeteria is a mystery.

Lesson 4: Principal Parts of Verbs (NEW info!) Every regular verb has 4 basic forms called its principal parts: present example: jump present participle example: is jumping past example: jumped past participle example: has jumped Notice that helping verbs are used in the participle forms. A regular verb is a verb whose past and past participle are formed by adding -ed or -d to the present. If you add -ed or -d and it doesn’t make sense, then it’s an irregular verb. present: look past: looked present part.: is looking past part.: has looked

Irregular Verbs V. Irregular Verbs: verbs whose past and past participle forms are not made by adding –ed or –d to present tense. Examples: present= cost past= cost present= bring past= brought present= freeze past= froze present= give past= gave present= sing past= sang
