Verbs

What they do, why we need them and how to spot them

What do verbs do?

• Every sentence needs a verb

• It indicates an action

• They are 'doing' words

Basic Verbs - Be and Have

To be - this is very common but also an irregular verb

To be becomes am, is, are, was, were, will be, depending on the noun and the tense

Have is an irregular verb - have, had, will have

Verbs are easy to spot because

They change tense

They are the only words that change tense and therefore are easy to locate!

John kicked the ball is in the past tense

In the present tense the verb changes - John kicks the ball

In the future tense, it changes again - John will kick the ball

Be careful though...

Verbs in the past tense can be used as ADJECTIVES

The way to spot this is if the word in the past tense has a verb before it - is/was/are it usually is an adjective describing a mood or feeling.

For example

After he kicked the ball, John was pleased

​What is an interjection?

​-The word "interjection" comes from

​the Latin words "between" (inter)

​and "to throw" (jacĕre).

​

​-Interjections are "thrown" in between

sentences to express a

sudden feeling.

​

​-Usually, interjections are used to

​express surprise.

How do I use an interjection?

​-Interjections usually stand alone

​with an exclamation point or a period

​(if the feeling is not as strong.)

​

​-If used in a sentence, a comma

​separates an interjection from the

​rest of the sentence.
