Verbs: - Definition: a word that expresses action or being Action Verbs: - Verbs that show action - There are two types of action verbs - Transitive verbs: a verb that takes an object - answers whom or what - example: I carried the injured boy. - - Carried whom or what? Since boy answers that question, the verb carried is transitive Intransitive verbs: a verb that does not take an object - example: I sank into the sofa. - Whom or what sank? Nothing.. so intransitive Being Verbs: - While action is easy to spot, so are being verbs. Definition: a verb in the state of being Forms of be: am, is, was, were, be, being, been Also includes: has been, should have been, may be, and might be. - Example: I am sitting on the dock. Linking Verbs: - A verb that “links” the subject to the predicate. - There are twelve. These words can be used as action verbs or linking verbs. - appear, feel, look, remain, smell, stay, become, grow, prove, seem, sound, taste - How do you know if it is LV or AV? - IF you can substitute a form of be and the sentence makes sense, then it’s a LV. Linking Verb Examples: - The soup tasted too spicy. - Substitute tasted for was or is… - The soup is/was too spicy. - I tasted the spicy soup. - Substitute tasted for was or is.... - I is/was the spicy soup. Helping Verbs: - Verbs that join the main verb to express the tense, mood, and voice of the verb - Examples: be, do, have, can, may, etc It may occur only once a year. Game Time: Charades 1.
