VerbsAction verbs

• There are 3 kinds of verbs to consider action
  verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs.
• Action verbs tell what the subject is doing.
  Sentences with these verbs have a subject, verb,
  and sometimes a direct object (D.O.). The D.O.
  receives the action from the subject. In the
  sentence, Sally kisses her dog. Sally does the
  kissing and the dog receives the kissing. So, the
  dog is the D.O.
• Some action verbs show the action of the subject,
  but do not take a D.O. An example is Sally
  kisses well. Here, well is an adverb telling how
  Sally kisses, so there is no D.O.

VerbsLinking verbs

• Now, if we say, Sally is the dogs name. there
  is no action, but the verb, is is a linking
  verb. This linking verb has a predicate noun
  (P.N.) following it. That P.N. renames Sally.
• In the sentence, Sallys dog is brown. the verb
  is followed by a predicate adjective (P.A.) that
  describes the dog.
• The following are some of the linking verbs in
  English forms of the verb to be (am, are, is,
  was, were, be, been, being), appear, become,
  feel, grow, look, remain, seem, smell, sound,
  stay, taste, and turn.

VerbsHelping verbs

• Helping verbs provide additional meaning to the
  main verb in a sentence.
• The main helping verbs can be main verbs in their
  own right, but are helpers when they are used
  with other main verbs. There are three groups of
  these verbs
• To be am, are, is, was, were, be, been,
  beingthese are used with verbs ending in ing,
  eg. are seeing, was talking, am sleeping, etc.
• Have, has, or hadthese are used with verbs
  ending in ed, or with irregular forms of verbs
  like had rung, have eaten, has gone, etc.
• Do, does, didthese are used with the present or
  base form of the verb, eg. does eat, did walk, do
  talk, etc. often to add emphasis to the
  statement. For example Sally does complete her
  homework.

Special helping verbs--modals

• There are ten special helping verbsmodalsthat
  are not verbs in their own right, but are used to
  add meaning to other main verbs. They are not
  verbs, because they cannot stand alone as verbs
  in a sentence, but can only function as helpers.
  They are can, could, shall, should, will, would,
  may, might, must, ought to.
• Will and shall are the only way we can indicate
  future in English, eg. I will come by your house
  at 10 oclock this evening.
• Should and could set conditions about the verbs
  action.
• The rest all show various degrees of intention to
  complete the action indicated by the main verb.

Directions

• Change each sentence by adding a helping verb in
  the appropriate place. In some cases the main
  verb will need to be changed into another form of
  that verb to make sense with the helper.
