Success in Writing--Verbs Some sentences contain one word verbs: Lucy talks all the time. Who made your uniform? Jimmy ran to tell about the fire. Mr. Johnson is a fair teacher.

Success in Writing--Verbs Other sentences have two or more words as part of their verb (or predicate). We can go swimming after work. You are going to be a great leader. In October he will have served three terms as Jaycee president. Who is coming to see us?

Success in Writing--Verbs Each verb must agree in number with its subject, which usually comes before the verb. If the verb consists of two or more words, the first helping verb must agree.
