14. Verbs review

15. There are 3 types: action, helping, and linking
verbs
A verb is the action of the sentence. It shows what someone or something is doing.
There are 3 types: action, helping, and linking

16. Action verbs:
These are words that express action (give, eat, walk, jump, fight, run, etc.)
Or they sometimes express possession (have, own, has, etc.)
Remember: if it’s something you can physically see someone doing, it’s an action verb

17. Linking verb: connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement (word that renames the subject)
Example: Jim became a business major.
Jim = subject
became = linking verb
a business major = subject complement

18. The following verbs are linking verbs but ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE SUBJECT COMPLEMENTS:
1. to appear 2. to feel 3. to look 4. to remain
5. to stay 6. to taste 7. to continue 8. to grow
9. to prove 10.to sound 11. to smell 12. to turn

19. Am, is, are, was, were, being, been
The most common linking verb is “to be” in all its forms:
Am, is, are, was, were, being, been

20. Remember: this ONLY works if the linking verb connects the subject to its complement
(Translation – “If it Ain't LINKIN’ stuff together, it Ain't a LINKIN’ verb – DUHHHHHH”)

21. Helping verbs:
used BEFORE action or linking verbs to convey additional information regarding aspects of possibility (can, could, would, should, etc.) or time (was, did, has, is, etc.).

22. It is ALWAYS: “[helping verb] THEN [main verb]”
Example: Bob is going to Mexico.
Is = helping verb
Going = main verb
So with helping verbs, it’s ALWAYS at least 2 verbs in the sentence

23. Can, could, may, might, must, ought to, shall, should, will, would
The following words, called modals, are ALWAYS helping verbs:
Can, could, may, might, must, ought to, shall, should, will, would

24. Am, are, be, been, being, did, do, does, had, has, have, is, was, were
The following forms of the verbs to be, to do, and to have sometimes serve as helping verbs:
Am, are, be, been, being, did, do, does, had, has, have, is, was, were

25. Remember: a verb has to come BEFORE a main verb and give additional information in order to be HELPING
