What are alive verbs?

There's no grammatical term called "alive verbs". It seems like you might be thinking of active verbs, which describe actions that the subject of a sentence performs.

Here's how active verbs work:

* Subject performs the action: The subject of the sentence is doing the verb.

* Example: "The dog barked loudly." (The dog is the subject, and it is performing the action of barking.)

In contrast to active verbs, passive verbs describe actions that are done to the subject.

* Subject receives the action: The subject of the sentence is having something done to it.

* Example: "The ball was thrown by the boy." (The ball is the subject, and it is receiving the action of being thrown.)

Let me know if you have any other questions about verbs! 😊
