Verb - Review
A verb states action,
being, or a condition.
It also tells time.
Action Verbs: Tell what the subject does, has done, or will do.
Some tell what the subject has.
•Physical (walked)
•Mental (planned)
•Transitive verb is an action verb that sends its action to
another word.
•The word that receives the action is the direct object of
the verb. The direct object answers the question what?
or whom? after the verb. It is usually a noun or pronoun.
•Ms. Shields bought shoes.
•Intransitive verb is an action verb that does not have a
direct object.
•Ms. Corder talks every day.
Write two sentences. One with a
transitive verb and one with an
intransitive verb.

direct object.

Linking Verbs: A linking verb, or being verb, tells what the
subject is or feels. It links the subject with another word or group of
words.
Linking:
appear
become
grow
remain
stay
sound
be
feel
look
seem
smell
taste
(be: am, was, are were, is) (have: have, had, had) (do: did, does)
Action or linking? Some verbs can be used as action or linking
verbs. If you can substitute a form of be for the verb, it is usually a
linking verb.
The shoes felt (were) comfortable. (linking verb)
She felt (is) the blister. (doesn’t make sense - action verb)
Is it linking or action?

Action/Linking Verb help
If you can substitute a form of be for the
verb, it is usually a linking verb.
• Her poem sounded melancholy.
Think: Her poem is melancholy. (“Is” makes sense,
therefore, “sounded” is a linking verb.
• Carol looked through her textbook.
Think: Carol is through her textbook. (“Is” doesn’t make sense,
therefore, “looked” is an action verb.
