a sentence
16. Action Verbs
Action verbs express action by
describing the behavior of a
person, place or thing. They may
describe physical or mental
actions.

Alaska every day.
17. Linking Verbs
Linking verbs link the subject
(noun phrase) of the sentence
with the rest of the sentence.
Many linking verbs are forms of
“to be.” Let’s take a look at
some examples:

18. Modal verb
is used along with a main verb to express
possibility, ability, permission, or necessity. For
example, in the statement “you must leave,”
“must” is a modal verb indicating that it's
necessary

describes a noun or pronoun. Adjectives can be
used to describe the qualities of someone or
