What is a verb?

A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being in a sentence. It is one of the main parts of speech in English grammar and is necessary for forming sentences and conveying meaning. Verbs can show actions (e.g., run, jump), events (e.g., happen, rain), or states of being (e.g., is, exist).

Give three examples of action verbs.

Run, jump, speak.

Provide two examples of linking verbs.

Is" and "seem" are two examples of linking verbs.

Define a helping verb.

A helping verb, also known as an auxiliary verb, is a verb that accompanies the main verb in a sentence to convey shades of meaning related to tense, mood, voice, aspect, or emphasis. Helping verbs are used to form various verb phrases and to provide additional information about the main verb, such as indicating the time of an action, expressing possibility or obligation, or showing the active or passive voice of the main verb.

Give an example of a verb phrase.

Is going for a run.

Name three irregular verbs.

strive, weep, go

Explain what a transitive verb is.

A transitive verb is a type of verb that requires one or more objects to complete its meaning in a sentence. This means that the action of the verb is done to someone or something, known as the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She ate the cake," the verb "ate" is transitive because it requires an object, which is "the cake," to make complete sense.

Define an intransitive verb.

An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require a direct object to complete its meaning. It typically expresses an action or state that does not transfer to an object, and the sentence with an intransitive verb can stand alone without needing to add an object to make sense.

Provide two examples of regular verbs.

Two examples of regular verbs are "walk" and "talk." These verbs follow a regular pattern when conjugated in different tenses and do not undergo any significant changes in their base form.

Explain what a phrasal verb is.

A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and one or more prepositions or adverbs that together have a specific meaning different from the individual words. Phrasal verbs are commonly used in English language to convey a variety of actions and expressions.
