12. WHAT IS AN ACTION VERB? An action verb is a type of verb that describes the action that the subject of a sentence is performing. Action verbs can refer to both physical and mental actions (i.e., internal processes and actions related to thinking, perceiving, or feeling). He played football in high school. Toddlers learn new things every day.

13. HOW TO USE ACTION VERBS Transitive verbs require a direct object, such as a noun or pronoun , that receives the action. Without a direct object, sentences with a transitive verb are vague or incomplete Jack pushed another kid at the schoolyard. Can I borrow this book? 1 In contrast, intransitive verbs do not require a direct object that receives the action of the verb. However, other information may come after the verb, such as an adverb . The dog ran. They complain frequently. 2 Some action verbs can act as both transitive and intransitive verbs. My neighbor plays drums every morning. The kids can play outside today.

USEFUL INFORMATION Action or dynamic verbs are often contrasted with stative verbs . While action verbs communicate action, stative verbs describe a state of being or perception (e.g., “it tasted,” “he is,” “she heard”).

15. IT WORKS LIKE THIS: Another way is to look at the meaning of the sentence and ask yourself if the verb shows what someone does or how someone feels or is. If the verb describes what someone does, it is an action verb. Otherwise, it is probably a stative verb. One way to tell action verbs from stative verbs is to look at the verb tenses . Because stative verbs usually describe a state of being that is unchanging, they can’t be used in the continuous (or progressive) tenses. Action verbs, on the other hand, can be used in continuous tenses.
