Verbs
A verb is a word that expresses
action (run, carried, declared) or
state
of being (is, are, seemed).
Classes of Verbs
•Linking verbs
•Auxiliary verbs
•Action verbs
•Objects with Transitive Verbs
Forms of Verbs
•For the Alabama High School Graduation
Exam, you need to know the forms of
verbs.
•A verb has different forms depending on
its number person tense, voice, and mood.
Number of a Verb
Number indicates whether a verb is singular or plural.
In a clause, the verb and its subject must both be
singular or both be plural.
•Singular
One large island floats off Italy’s toe.
•Plural
Five small islands float inside Michigan’s “thumb.”
Person of a Verb
Person indicates whether the subject of the verb is first,
second, or third person (is speaking, is spoken to, or is
spoken about). The form of the verb usually changes
only when a present-tense verb is used with a thirdperson singular pronoun.
First Person
Singular
Plural
I skip
We skip
Second Person You skip
You skip
Third Person
They skip
He/she/it skips
Tense of a Verb
Tense indicates time. Each verb has three
principal parts: the present, past, and past
participle. All six tenses are formed from
these principal parts. The past and past
participle of regular verbs are formed by
adding ed to the present form. For irregular
verbs, the past and past participle are usually
different words; however, a few have the
same form in all three principal parts.
