9. REMEMBER!
Helping Verbs are used before the
main verb to convey additional
information about the function of
the main verb. (can, may, must)

10. REMEMBER!
Linking Verbs are words that connect
the subject to a noun or an adjective
that often renames or describes the
subject (is, are, am, was, were)

11. REMEMBER!
Action Verbs are words that
express actions (run, think, eat)
which can be either transitive or
intransitive.

Intransitive
Verbs

13. A transitive verb is one
that only makes sense if
it exerts the action on an
object.

15. EXAMPLES:

16. An intransitive verb will
make sense without an
object to exert an action
to.
