ACTION VERBS

PRESENTED BY:
 ACTION VERBS
• Action verbs are words that express action
(give, eat, walk, etc.) or possession (have,
own, etc.).
• Action verbs can be either transitive or
intransitive.
 TRANSITIVE VERB
• Transitive verbs are action verbs that have an
object to receive that action.
• I baked some cookies.
• I rode the bicycle.
• I moved the chair.
 INTRANSITIVE VERB
• Intransitive verbs are action verbs but unlike
transitive verbs, they do not have an object
receiving the action.
• I laughed.
• I cried.
• The book fell.
• The horse galloped.
• The sun set.
• I walked to the park today.
• Is walked transitive or intransitive? Think
about the rules. Since walked has words
coming after it, the verb must be transitive,
right? WRONG! The phrase to the park is a
prepositional phrase and today is an adverb.
There is no object receiving the action of the
verb walked so the verb is intransitive.
 REGULAR AND
IRREGULAR
VERBS

PRESENTED BY:
 REGULAR VERBS
• Regular verbs are those whose past tense and
past participles are formed by adding a -d or
an -ed to the end of the verb.
Examples:
BASE PAST TENSE PAST PARTICIPLE

roll rolled rolled

plan planned planned

look looked looked

 IRREGULAR VERBS
• Those verbs in which there is not the addition
of –d and –ed
BASE PAST TENSE PAST PARTICIPLE

break broke broken

run ran run

come came come

swim swam swum

fly flew flown

buy bought bought

COMPOUND VERBS

PRESENTED BY:
 COMPOUND VERBS
• Every subject in a sentence must have at least
one verb. But that doesn't mean that a subject
can have only one verb. Some subjects are
greedy as far as verbs go. A greedy subject can
have two, three, four, or more verbs all to
itself. When a subject has two or more verbs,
you can say that the subject has a compound
verb.
 COMPOUND VERBS
• A compound verb is when a subject has two
or more verbs that are joined together by a
conjunction.
• The stress is on the second or on the last part.
 Example
Before mixing the ingredients for his world-
famous cookies, Bobby swatted a fly buzzing
around the kitchen and crushed a cockroach
scurrying across the floor.
Bobby = subject; swatted, crushed = compound
verb.
Examples
• Matilda loves bread but detest butter.
• Sarah baked cookies and ate them up.
• Dogs love to eat bones and love drinking
water.
 HELPING VERBS
&
LINKING VERBS

PRESENTED BY:
 VERBS
HELPING VERBS
VS
LINKING VERBS
 HELPING VERBS
• Help the main verb express action or state of
being.
Example
a) we have eaten
Have is helping verb and eaten is main verb.
They are used together to express the action.
They are working.
• ARE is helping verb and WORKING is a main
verb. They are used together to express the
action
 HELPING VERBS
• Helping verbs have no meaning on their own.
They are necessary for the grammatical
structure of a sentence, but they do not tell us
very much alone. We usually use helping verbs
with main verbs. They "help" the main verb
(which has the real meaning).
• There are only about 15 helping verbs in English,
and we divide them into two basic groups:
• Primary helping verbs (3 verbs). These are the
verbs be, do, and have. Note that we can use
these three verbs as helping verbs or as main
verbs
• Be (am ,is ,are ,was ,were, be ,been, being)
• Have (have, has, had)
• Do (do, does, did)
• Modal helping verbs (10 verbs)
We use modal helping verbs to "modify" the
meaning of the main verb in some way. A
modal helping verb expresses necessity or
possibility, and changes the main verb in that
sense.
These are the modal verbs:
• can, could
• may, might
• will, would,
• shall, should
• must
• ought to
LINKING VERBS

PRESENTED BY:
 LINKING VERBS
• A verb that links or join the subject with
another word in sentence is called linking
verb.

Example
• Ali was the winner of the race(was links
winner and the subject, winners rename the
subject)
 Linking verb
• Link the subject to words or group of words
that IDENTIFY or DESCRIBE the subject
 Mr. bohr is our teacher.
• (The linking verb IS links the subject Mr. Bohr
to the noun TEACHER)

 That dog looks miserable.

• (The linking verb LOOKS links the subject Dog
To the adjective Miserable)
Linking verbs can be replaced with similar verbs
similar verbs
‘BE’ VERBS –am, are, be, been, being, is, was,
were
SIMILAR verbs- appear ,grow, seem ,stay
become, look ,smell, taste, feel, remain ,sound,
turn.
• Differences
Helping verbs
o Will have more than one verb in the sentence
o WON’T be the MAIN VERB of the sentence
Linking verbs
o Will be the MAIN VERB of the sentence
o WILL identify or describe the subject
