VERBS

Verbs show the time, action, and state of being of a subject.

Tense: verbs indicate time via tenses:

simple past past past perfect past progressive simple present present present perfect present progressive present perfect progressive future future perfect

Types: There are at least eleven (11) types of verbs: auxiliary verbs (helping verbs) linking verbs (verbs that do not describe action, but connect the subject of a sentence to other parts of the sentence – usually the predicate) lexical verbs (main verbs) dynamic verbs (indicate action) stative verbs (describe a condition) finitive verbs (indicate tense) nonfinitive verbs (infinitives or participles) regular verbs (weak verbs) irregular verbs (strong verbs) transitive verbs (verbs followed by a direct object) intransitive verbs (verbs that do not take direct objects)

Voice: Voice is the form of the verb that indicates how it relates or interacts with the action. The English language has two voices: ACTIVE and PASSIVE. Active: The family opened their gifts on Christmas. Passive: The gifts were opened by the family on Christmas.

Verbals: (VERB FORMS NOT USED AS VERBS)

Gerund: word ending in “ing” used as a noun. · Brittany really enjoys investigating unsolved cases. Participle: word ending in “ing” or “ed” used as an adjective · There is no running track at the park. · Quinn walked by the abandoned mall. Infinitive: verb preceded by the word “to” (to go, to jump) used as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs

· Sam goes to play football afterschool.

ADJECTIVES

Adjectives modify, describe, limit, and identify nouns and pronouns. · Kinds: Demonstrative, Common, Proper (Give one example of each using words related to your subject) This is Tina's favorite book. Artie is a very smart guy. Santana is a Mexican student.

ADVERBS

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. · Endings (Create one example related to your subject for each) Santana can not rely on Rachel Kurt came towards Blaine to confront him Mercedes liked Sam otherwise she would have hurt him. · Conversions (Show how three words related to your subject can become adverbs – Example: “Educational” becomes “Educationally”) Blaine is physically inactive. Unique is transitionally becoming who she wants. Marley by miracle survived. · Types:

Manner, Frequency, Degree, Place, Time

Example Types: (Create one example each related to your subject) Manner – Carole politely asked Finn to clean up his room. Time – Like always Kitty arrived late. Place – Coach Sylvester arrived at the choir room at the wrong time. Degree – No one believed MIT wanted Brittany. Frequency – Santana always said what was on her mind.
