2. VERB

3. What is a verb? A verb is a word that describes what the subject of a sentence is doing. Verbs can indicate (physical or mental) actions, occurrences, and states of being.

4. The 3 main types of verbs are Action Verbs, Linking Verbs, and Helping Verbs.

5. LINKING VERB is a verb that “links” the subject of the sentence to information about the subject. The linking verb expresses a certain state of being and does not express an action.

6. Examples: Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic in the ocean. I am sad about what is happening because of plastic pollution. After lunch, she be came sleepy.

7. Used without any action verb, linking verbs express the state of being of the subject. Is, are, am, was, and were are examples of linking verbs. Other linking verbs are appear, look, sound, become, remain, stay, feel, seem, taste, grow, smell and turn.

8. 2. HELPING VERB is a verb that is used with the main verb. Take Note: Although some of these verbs can stand alone (am, is, are, was, were, has, have, had, do, does, did), they can also be used as helping verbs when the need arises. The others need a main verb.

9. Examples: We can help reduce the risk of plastic pollution. can-helping verb + help-main verb b. Our school is supporting the fight on plastic pollution. is-helping verb + supporting-main verb

10. 3. ACTION VERB tells what action someone is doing or something is performing. Examples: The marine creatures ingest the plastic. Plastic affects marine wildlife.

11. TAKE NOTE! Linking Verb is, am, was, were + an information about the subject Helping Verb can, will, any linking verb + main verb Action Verb tells action / what is the subject doing

21. TENSES OF THE VERB A tense is a form of a verb that shows the time of an action or condition. There are three simple tenses that indicate when an action or condition of a verb is, was, or will be in effect.

22. PRESENT TENSE Simple Present Tense – denotes present time. It is used to express habitual action or to express an idea that is generally accepted as true. The words every day, now, today, every month, regularly, daily and frequently are some of the time signals used with the present tense of the verb.

23. PRESENT TENSE Examples : The students eat lunch together at twelve noon every day. 2. Every vacation, the Calzado family goes on European tour.

28. PRESENT TENSE The simple present tense is formed by adding –s or – es to the base form of the verb if the subject is singular or an indefinite pronoun. Use the base form of the verb for plural subjects and the pronoun I and you.

29. EXAMPLES The students eat lunch together at twelve noon every day. 2. The very cool breeze brings shivers down my spine.

30. PAST TENSE Simple Past Tense - expresses actions or events that happened in the past. The past tense of regular verbs is formed by adding –d or – ed to the present form.

Time signals such as yesterday, last week and a month ago are used with past tense.
