What to Focus On

  • A verb shows action, being, or possession.
  • Every sentence must have a verb.
  • Verbs can be one word or more than one word.
  • Action verbs show what someone does (e.g., run, jump, play).
  • Being verbs show what someone or something is (e.g., am, is, are, was, were).
  • Having verbs show what someone has (e.g., has, have, had).
  • A verb can be one word (e.g., jumps, sings).
  • A verb can be two or more words (e.g., is jumping, will sing).
  • Helping verbs like 'is', 'are', 'was', 'have', 'will' join with main verbs to form multi-word verbs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Only action words like 'run' or 'jump' are verbs.

If a word ends with -ing, it must be a verb.

A sentence can have more than one main verb.
