A verb is an action word. Verbs tell what a person, animal, or thing does.
Verbs show action. If it is something you can do, it is probably a verb.
A verb tells what is happening in the sentence. Every complete sentence needs a verb.
Without a verb, a sentence is not complete. The verb tells the action that happens.
Many verbs describe the things children do in daily life, such as moving, eating, or talking.
Verbs are everywhere. Notice the actions people, animals, and things do around you.
Verbs can change when talking about one person (singular) or more than one (plural).
With one person, we often add -s to the verb. With more than one, the verb usually does not have -s.
Here are some important words children should know when learning about verbs.
Using these words often in class and practice helps children understand and use verbs correctly.
