A verb is the action in a sentence.
Which word in the sentence is the verb?

2. The cat climbed the tree.
CFU
Teacher answers #1, students answer #2.
Students, you already know how to identify verbs. In a sentence, there is always a verb, or an action,
that takes place. There is always someone or something that does the action, which is called the subject.
A complete sentence uses both a subject and a verb. Today, we will use subjects and verbs to write
complete sentences.
