  2. What is a verb? • A verb is a word that carry the idea of being or action in the sentence. They show action or state of being.. • There are several different kinds of verbs, some include: verb tenses, linking verbs, helping verbs, phrasal verbs, causative verbs, factitive verbs, verbals, etc. • Verbs can also change their form!

  3. Action verbs! • Action verbs are verbs that show any kind of work , movement, or.. Action! • Examples include : jumping, playing, slipping, dancing, etc • Example~ my friends and I were playing football outside my house.

  4. Helping and linking verbs • Helping verbs are verbs that are used in conjunction with main verbs to express shades of time and mood. • Examples include~ will, shall, may, might, can, could, must, ought to, should, etc. • Sentence~ I will be playing hockey tomorrow at two o’clock. • Helping verbs plus a main verb will make a verb phrase. • Linking verbs are verbs that connect a subject and it’s complement. They are often in “ to be” form and are sometimes related to the five senses. Some reflect a state of being ( appear, seem, become, grow, turn, prove, remain) • Sentence~ Lila is a shopaholic. “Is” is connecting the subject, lila, to the object, shopaholic.

  5. Active and passive voice/ verbs • Active voice is where the subject of the sentence preforms the action expressed in the verb. It is also the most common form of writing sentences. • Example ~ The coaches made the decision on who would be on our Olympic team. • Passive voice is where the subject receives the action expressed in the verb. It is a less common form of writing in terms of sentences. • Example~ the decision was made by the coaches on who would be on our Olympic team.

  6. Phrasal and Causative Verbs • Phrasals are verbs, another word or phrase and usually a preposition. The end result is a brand new verb. This kind of verb is typically hard for non- native speakers to learn because it comes from causal talk and sayings. The word that joins with a verb in this form (often the preposition) is called the Particle. • Examples~ The kids were sitting around, waiting… • Causative verbs are designated the action necessary to cause another action to happen. • Examples include~ let, help, allow, have, require, allow, make , convince, etc. • It’s followed by an object ( noun or pronoun) & followed by an ifinite. • Example~ She made me do it. “Made” causes the “do”

  7. Past present and future verbs • Verbs can also change their form! • Sometimes, ending are added (-ed or –ing) but other times, it turns into another word. • They become past tense by adding –d or –ed at the end. • Past- takes place in the past • Present- is taking place now! • Future- will eventually take place. • To make it future tense, you will have a “going to” or “Will” • example~ I will go shopping soon!

  8. Factitive verbs and Verbals • Factitive verbs are transitive verbs- made, choose, judge, elect, select, name, etc. • Example~ the staff picked Johnson as the team president. • “Johnson” is the direct object and “team president” is the second complement. • Verbals are words that seem to carry the idea of an action of being but do not function as a true verb. Aka a “ non- infinite” • Frequently, they are accompanied by other words making it a verbal phrase. • There are two different types; infinitives and participles • Infinitives are carried within them the idea of action, combined with helping verbs to express shades of time. • Example~ we had to planned to watch all the events in the Olympics. • Particplesare verbs forms that act like adjectives. • Example~ The running cat chased the mouse.
