Understanding Verbs: Action and Linking

The video tutorial introduces verbs, focusing on two types: action verbs and linking verbs. Action verbs indicate actions like standing, sitting, and smiling, showing what the subject does. Linking verbs, such as 'am', 'is', 'are', 'was', and 'were', describe a state of being, showing what the subject is without action. Examples are provided for both types. The video concludes with a reference to a free English learning resource.
