A verb is a word that shows an action or a condition.
Many verbs are action words. They describe what someone or something does. Climb, juggle, and swim are all action verbs. Remember, some
action verbs describe activities you can’t really see or hear. Learn, imagine, and find are all action verbs, too.
Some verbs help the main verb describe the action. These are called helping verbs. Could and will are examples of helping verbs: He could
read. I will come back.
Some verbs are not action words. A linking verb describes a condition. Was and is are examples of linking verbs: Herb was bored. It is late.
How important are verbs? Just try writing a sentence without one! You cannot write a sentence without a verb. Verbs great! makes no sense.
Verbs are great! makes sense because it includes the verb are.
