Verbs: Action
A verb expresses action or a state of being and is necessary to make a statement.
An action verb tells what someone or something does. Action verbs can express either physical or mental action.
An action verb that is followed by a word that answers the question what? or whom? is called a transitive verb.
An action verb that is not followed by a word that answers the question what? or whom? is called an intransitive verb.
Some verbs can be either transitive or intransitive, depending on their use.
Linking Verbs:
A linking verb links, or joins, the subject of a sentence with a word that identifies or describes the subject. The most common linking verbs are forms of be. Some examples are:
am, is, was, were, will be, has been, and was being
Other verbs that can be linking verbs
appear, become, feel, grow, look, remain, seem, sound, smell, and taste
Verb Phrases
The verb in a sentence may consist of more than one word. We call the words that accompany the main verb auxillary, or helping verbs.
A verb phrase consists of a main verb and all its auxillary verbs. Example: I am apologizing because I have arrived so late. Do you still have time?
Auxillary verbs:
Forms of be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been
Forms of have: has, have, had, having
Others helping verbs: can, could, do, does, did, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would
Example: I could have arrived on time if I had planned my day better.
