  or links a subject to another word
  in a sentence.

   Linking
   Helping

  is doing
  ran
  hide
  walk
  swim
  told
Types of Verbs

  subject to a noun or an adjective in
  the predicate
 Common linking verbs:
  is            are    was    were
             being been     am
   subject             noun
  Mark is a football player.
Types of Verbs

 Verbs such as
  smell, look, taste, feel, remain, turn, app
  ear, become, sound, seem, grow, stay
  can also be linking verbs.
 How do you know if it is linking or
  action? You need to ask yourself if the
  verb is linking the subject to a noun or
  adjective in the predicate.
Types of Verbs

 Helping Verb – helps the main verb
  express tense and voice – Helping verbs

       are was             were
    am     being           been
Types of Verbs

 How do you know if it is a helping verb
  or a linking verb?
 If there is an action verb in the clause
  also, it is a helping verb. If you do not
  see any other kind of verb, it is a linking
  verb.
Verb Tense

 Verbs are either past, present or
  future tense. In writing, you
  should always use the same tense
  for your verbs within your
  paragraph or essay.
What is the verb tense for
       each sentence?
 Michael had played the piano for an hour.
 past tense
 Cheryl will walk home after school.
 future tense
 Susie is a cheerleader.
 present tense
Subject – Verb Agreement

 The subject and verb in a clause should always
  agree in number.
 Joey walks. (singular subject/singular verb)
 Joey and Maggie walk. (plural subject/plural verb)
 She runs. (singular subject/singular verb)
 They run. (plural subject/plural verb)
