Action Verbs

Mr. Griot introduces action verbs, explaining their role in sentences as words that describe actions. He provides examples, such as 'ran' and 'barked,' and discusses how sentences can contain multiple action verbs. Through various examples, students learn to identify action verbs and understand their importance in sentence structure.
