All of the previous words show action or things that you can do. These are called ACTION VERBS. What would happen if we didn’t have VERBS? We couldn’t do anything!! In fact, verbs are so very important to our sentences. A sentence is NOT COMPLETE without a VERB!

Two types of VERBS ACTION VERBS: tells what the subject is doing. Example: The baby cries every day. LINKING VERBS: link or connect the subject to a noun or adjective (complement) in the predicate. They DO NOT show action! Example: The baby is unhappy. IS links/connects baby to unhappy.

Linking Verbs Verbs that do not show action are called “state of being,” or linking because they link a subject to a noun or adjective in the predicate. Example: The man/ is a dentist. subj. predicate Subject = man Noun in the predicate = dentist “Is” links man  dentist

“Be”-8 Linking Verbs Am Is Are Was Were Be Being Been These verbs are always used as linking verbs. *I am the only one. * She is my teacher. * The children are excited. I one She teacher children excited

GRABSST Grow The mother grew suspicious. Remain The room remained quiet. Appear Your homework appears incomplete. Become The lake suddenly became turbulent. Seem You seem very tired. Stay The children stayed calm. Turn The leaves turned colors. These can be either linking or action. Use the substitution rule when in doubt.

5 Senses (Can be linking or action) Smell Taste Feel Sound Look

5 Senses Examples ~ Linking and Action I looked for my shoes everywhere. (Action) [I used my eyes to look.] You looked tired yesterday. (Linking) [You were tired yesterday] Joe smells smoke in the air. (Action) [Joe uses his nose to smell the smoke.] The socks smell sweaty after PE. (Linking) [The socks are sweaty after PE. – The socks don’t have a nose to smell!] I taste the cinnamon. (Action) [I use my mouth/tongue to taste] The soup tastes good. (Linking) [The soup is good. The soup doesn’t have a mouth to taste!]

Examples continued He felt the rough sandpaper. (Action) [He used his hand to feel the sandpaper.] He felt sick last night. (Linking) [He was sick last night. He didn’t use his hands to feel sick!] The lunch bell sounded at 11:30. (Action) [The bell made the sound.] The music sounded very soothing. (Linking). [The music was very soothing.] Remember: If you’re not sure try the Substitution Rule!

Substitution Rule If you’re not sure the verb is linking or action (GRABSST or 5 Senses), see if you can substitute a “be” verb into the sentence and it makes sense. My grandfather grows corn. Try: My grandfather grows is corn. She grows tired of the noise. Try: She grows is tired of the noise.

Helping/Auxiliary Verbs “I need help!” Sometimes the main verb (action or linking) needs help from another verb to better express its meaning. These other verbs are called helping or auxiliary verbs. I may ask her soon. I must ask her soon. I should ask her soon. I can ask her soon. As you can see, the helping verb helps change the meaning of each sentence. Using the verb ask by itself wouldn’t work!

Helping/Auxiliary Verbs am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been (Do these look familiar? You’re right these are also the “be-8” linking verbs! They can help many main verbs.) have, has, had do, does, did will, would, shall, should can, could may, might, must

Verb Phrase A helping verb always stands in front of the main verb. helping verb + main verb = verb phrase. Mallory was singing in the shower. She has been very quiet today. Wally has been practicing his music daily.

Verb Phrases continued... FYI: Sometimes an adverb can interrupt the verb phrase. DO NOT include as part of a verb phrase! Grandpa has always been a non-stop thinker. Stephen does not want a new bicycle. (btw...“NOT” is never a verb!!!)

Verb Tense Verb tense shows an action in the Present, the Past, or the Future. Regular verbs add –ed, -d to form the past tense. Irregular verbs will change form
