Common Nouns
Verbs are words that express action or state of being. There are three
types of verbs: action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs.
Action Verbs
Action verbs are words that express action (give, eat, walk, etc.) or
possession (have, own, etc.).
Linking Verbs
A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective
that renames or describes the subject. This noun or adjective is called
the subject complement.
Verb
Helping Verbs
Helping verbs are used before action or linking verbs to convey
additional information regarding aspects of possibility (can, could, etc.)
or time (was, did, has, etc.). The main verb with its accompanying
helping verb is called a verb phrase.
EXAMPLES:
Teju is (helping verb) going (main verb) to Florida.
The trip might (helping verb) be (main verb) dangerous.
