1. Action Verbs:
* These verbs show what the subject is *doing*.
* Examples: "The dog ran across the yard." (Action: running) "She sings beautifully." (Action: singing)
2. Linking Verbs:
* These verbs connect the subject to a word or phrase that describes or renames it. They don't show action.
* Examples: "He is happy." (State of being: happy) "The book seems interesting." (State of being: interesting)
Key Points:
* Every complete sentence needs a verb.
* Verbs often change form depending on the tense (past, present, future) and the subject (singular or plural).
* The verb helps us understand what's happening in the sentence and the relationship between the subject and the action/state.
