What to Focus On

  • A verb shows action, being, or possession.
  • Every sentence must have a verb.
  • Verbs change form based on time and subject.
  • Transitive verbs need an object to complete meaning.
  • Intransitive verbs do not need an object.
  • Some verbs can be both, depending on context.
  • Incomplete verbs need a complement to make sense.
  • Examples: is, are, was, were, seems, appears, looks.
  • Complement describes the subject, not an object.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All verbs show action, so if a word isn't showing action, it's not a verb.

If a verb has an object, it's always transitive. If it doesn't, it's intransitive.

The verb 'look' always means to direct your eyes, so it's always an action verb with an object.

Memory Tips

Definition of a verb: A word that shows action, being, or possession.

Three types of verbs: Action, Being, Possessing

No sentence can exist without a verb.

Transitive verbs need an object to complete meaning.
