• A word that shows action!
• Every sentence must have a verb.
• Unlike Many parts of speech, verbs can change their
forms!
• Example:
I ran to go get the ball.
• Mental:
• I thought I got the correct answer!
• Physical:
• I jumped in joy!
• The letters “ed” are usually added at the end of verbs to show
they are past tense!
Example: I walked along the track.
• Past Tense verbs show what already happened. And you don’t
always have to end a past tense verb in “ed”
• Example: I was at the baseball field.
• Present tense verbs show what is currently happening!
• Example: I am writing a paper.
Did you notice that the verb end in “ing”
This shows what is currently happening, rather than what has
already happened or what will happen.
• Future Tense Verbs show something that will happen, what we
think is going to happen.
• Example: I will go take the garbage out.
• Also dates can show future tense verbs. Next, tomorrow, next
week, in a month, etc.
