Verbs

What is a verb? A verb is a word that shows an action or state of being. In other words, they explain what something is or is doing. He ran quickly. (action) He is happy. (state of being)

There are many kinds of verbs. Here are some I want you to know Action and Linking Verbs Helping and Main Verbs

Action Verbs An action verb shows action. It shows what someone (or something) is doing. Example: The boy swam in the lake. (Swimming is an action.)

Linking Verbs A linking verb connects the subject to a word (or words) that are describing the subject The man is funny. (Man is being linked to the descriptive word funny.)

Commonly Used Linking Verbs Forms of Be: Other Verbs: am be being was are been is where appear grow seem stay become look smell taste feel remain sound turn

Action or Linking? To find out if a verb is an action or linking verb, substitute a form of be for the verb. If the sentence still makes sense, it’s usually a linking verb. If the sentence doesn’t make sense, it’s usually an action verb. Note: Forms of be and seem are always linking verbs

Action vs. Linking Verb Examples Joe plays baseball. Joe is baseball. (The sentence does not make sense, so it is an action verb.) The roses look pretty. The roses are pretty. (The sentence makes sense, so it is a linking verb.)

Main Verbs Some sentences have several verbs working together to mean one thing. The main verb is the verb that’s most specific about what the subject is or is doing. The girl could have gone to the zoo. The dog may eat dinner soon.

Helping Verbs When sentences have several verbs working together, the helping verbs are the verbs that are helping the main verb. The girl could have gone to the zoo. The dog may eat dinner soon.

A List of Helping Verbs… am, are, is, was, were, be, being, been, do, does, did, shall, will, may, must, might, have, has, had, can, could, would, should Note: Some helping verbs can also be linking verbs. How do you know which is which? You have to see how they’re being used in the sentence.

Helping or Linking Verb? The boy is funny. (This is a linking verb because boy is being linked to the descriptive word funny.) The boy is running. (This is a helping verb because is helps running make sense.)

An Easy Tip to Remember When trying to decide if a word is a helping verb or linking verb, ask yourself these two questions: Are there other verbs in the sentence? Is this verb helping the other verbs make sense? If the answer to these questions is yes, than you have a helping verb on your hands.

Time to Review Take some time now to review your notes. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask.
