What is a verb?

– a state
Her name is Sally. She has 3 brothers and a
sister. or
–
an occurrence/happening
Snow glistened on the tree tops.

Helping Verbs
Helping verbs are words that help the
main verb. They have no meaning on their
own. Helping verbs are needed to make
the sentence grammatically correct.
Examples:
Peter is going to town.
Jane would have gone, but she didn’t
have a ride.

Regular Verbs
Regular verbs will show past tense by
adding –ed.
Today I walk to town.
Yesterday I walked to town.
Present tense is shown by adding –ing.
Right now I am walking to town.
Rules
Some regular verbs vary slightly in spelling, but basically still follow the
pattern.
For example
If a verb ends in a single vowel followed by a single consonant (VC),
and the vowel has a strong stress, the final consonant is doubled
before adding -ed or -ing.
stop – stopped – stopping
OR
If the verb ends in -e, drop the e before adding –ed or -ing.
hope – hoped – hoping
OR
If the verb ends in a consonant plus y (Cy), we change the y to i and
add -es or -ed. In the case of -ing, we do not change the y.
study – studied - studying

Sit in the blue chair.
Set means “to place something.”
Please set this blue chair in that corner.

Lie and Lay
People lie on beds. Dogs lie on people.
Fleas lie on dogs. The people, the dogs,
and the fleas are very still. Lie is a still
verb.
A person picks up a dog and lays it on a
blanket. A pair of tweezers picks a flea off
a dog and lays it outside. A hen lays an
egg. The person, the tweezers, and the
hen are very active. Lay is an active verb.
It implies that somebody is setting or
placing something somewhere.
Lie (to lie down on a bed)
lie, lay, lain, lying
Today I lie in bed.
Yesterday I lay in bed.
Many times I have lain in bed.
Yesterday I was lying in bed all day.
Lying in bed all day is boring.
Lay (to place something, to set
something down)
lay, laid, laid, laying
Today I lay the book on the counter.
Yesterday I laid the book on the counter.
Many times I have laid the book on the

Yesterday I was laying the book on the
counter when Mom came home.
Laying books on the kitchen counter is

Americans use the words lie and
lay incorrectly so often that your
ear has trouble telling you which
is correct. Here are a few tips to
help you keep these words
straight.
Tip
Remember the verb lay works just
like to say and to pay. Those
verbs are irregular, but they aren’t
confusing.
Today I say that I pay; yesterday I
said that I paid; many times I
have said that I have paid. To lay
works the same. lay, laid, laid
Tip 2
Nobody says that hens lie eggs.
We all get that one correct: hens
lay eggs. Those hens are mighty
busy! Just visualize in your mind
how active and busy those hens
are. Lay is an active, busy word.
When you’re doing something
active (laying down your
backpack, laying a new rug on the
floor), lay is the word you want.
Tip 3
Remember that lie is a quiet word.
Here’s a silly ditty you can use to
remind yourself of that (notice all
the “eye” sounds): At night, I
turn out my light and lie.
Whether it’s on you sofa, on your
beach towel, or on your bed, if
you are quietly reclining, you’re
lying – never laying.
Tip 4
Substitute the word place or the word
put. If the sentence sounds right, lay
is the word you want. If it doesn’t
sound right, lie is the word you want.
Does it sound right to say that you
place the book on the table? Yes, so
it’s correct to say that you lay the
book on the table. Does it sound right
to say you place in your bed at night?
No, so it’s correct to say that you lie in
your bed at night.

Remember

pronoun.
subject + verb + what? or who? = direct
object

single s, es, or ies is used with a
plural noun.
