Review:
A complete sentence has two parts:
A subject
A predicate
The subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. REMEMBER?
The predicate tells us what the subject does AND has a verb

3. Action Verbs

An action verb is a word that shows action in the PREDICATE part of a sentence.
The action verb tells us what the subject of the sentence does.
