Holt Handbook Chapter 3 Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection The Verb • A verb is a word used to express action or a state of being. Helping Verb and Main Verbs • A helping verb helps the main verb express action or a state of being. Together, a main verb and at least one helping verb (also called an auxiliary verb) make up a verb phrase. Action Verb • An action verb is a verb that expresses either physical or mental activity. Linking Verbs • A linking verb connects the subject to a word or word group that identifies or describes the subject. The noun, pronoun or adjective that is connected to the subject by a linking verb competes the meaning of the verb. Transitive and Intransitive Verbs • A transitive verb is a verb that expresses an action directed toward a person, place, thing or idea. • An intransitive verb expresses actions (or tells something about the subject) without the action passing to a receiver, or object. The adverb • An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
