Parts of Speech
1. Verb
“Verbs are the action or state of being in a sentence. Most verbs are action
verbs that have one or more parts (run, is running, has been running, etc.). The
most common state of being (no action) verb is be. Verbs usually follow a subject
and can be followed by an object. With imperative verbs, the subject “you” is
dropped.” (ellii.com)
Examples:
be, have, look, buy, wish, run, read
I love English Online drop-in classes!
I wish I could study English all day!

objects of a preposition.” (ellii.com)
