Verbs What IS a verb? • Basically, it’s shows action. Verbs can be words like run, jump, eat, drive, etc. • In order to be proper, all sentences MUST contain a verb and a noun/subject. • Example: The sentence “I am.” Is considered to be a complete sentence, because it contains a verb and a noun/subject. Verbs and Their Subjects. • Some verbs can support a sentence by them selves, these are called intransitive. Others, require a sentence to make them complete. Those would be called transitive. • Example: • Transitive – “She gave money to the church.” • Intransitive – “The building collapsed.” • However, you can not always tell which one it may be just from looking at it, because sometimes, a verb can be both! • Example: • "The monster collapsed the building by sitting on it." • Verbs must agree with their person, being whatever point of view they are being spoken from. There are three point of views: first, second and third person. • Some first person pronouns are things like: I, me, we, and us. They usually address the name of the speaker. • Second person pronouns will always address someone else directly, usually using “you”. • And third person pronouns will refer directly to others using: he, she, it, they, and them. • Some singular pronouns will require different verbs than others. • • • • Verbs must agree with their numbers, numbers meaning whether their noun/subject is singular or plural. Don’t be confused, use the rule of 1-S!! Rule of 1-S says: If the noun/subject end’s in –s or –es, then the verb will not, also, if the verb ends in –s, the noun/subject will not! • “Either the subject or the verb will end in -s-but not both.” See? Simple! And the verbs lived happily ever after! Ye Olde Citations and Stuff.
