Hello, little learners! 🌟
Do you know what makes a sentence come alive? It’s verbs!
Verbs are action-packed words that tell us what someone or something is doing. Let’s dive into the world of verbs and learn how they work with fun examples and activities!
What Is a Verb?
A verb is a word that shows an action or a state of being.
For example:
Action verbs: run, jump, eat, sing
Being verbs: is, are, was, were
👉 Fun Fact: Every sentence needs a verb to make sense!
Types of Verbs
Action Verbs
These verbs show what someone or something does.
For Examples:
–> The dog barks.
–> She paints a picture.
Helping Verbs
These verbs help the main verb in a sentence.
For Examples:
–> He is running fast.
–> They are singing loudly
Linking Verbs
These verbs connect the subject to more information.
For Examples:
–> The cake smells delicious.
–> She is happy.
Why Are Verbs Important?
Without verbs, sentences wouldn’t move! Imagine saying, “The boy.” That’s not complete! But if you add a verb, “The boy runs,” now it makes sense.Fun Examples of Verbs
*Action Verbs: The cat jumps. The girl writes.
*Helping Verbs: She is reading. They are dancing.
*Linking Verbs: He looks tired. The sky is blue.
