The verb
Do you know a verb is?
Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe
what the subject is doing. Along with nouns, verbs are
the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story
about what is taking place. In fact, without a verb, full
thoughts can’t be properly conveyed, and even the
simplest sentences, such as Maria sings, have one.
Actually, a verb can be a sentence by itself, with the
subject, in most case you, implied, such as, Sing! and
Drive!
How to Recognize a Verb?
One clue to help you
recognize a verb is its
location compared to the
subject. Verbs almost
always come after a noun
or pronoun. These nouns
and pronouns are referred
to as the subject.
If you’re not sure if a word is a
verb, ask yourself, Can I _____?


Example:
Can I think, wonder, walk, yawn?
The answer is Yes, so these are verbs
You can also ask, ”What is happening?
Example:
She is jumping the rope.
What is happening?
...jumping is happening.
So jumping is the verb.
