VERBS
A verb is an action or a state of being. The action
verbs are the easiest to find because they are
verbs of DOING.

A state of being verbs shows that something
EXISTS.
You are my friend.
VERB TENSES

A verb tense tells us when an action is carried


out.
Present tense shows that the action is
happening now, or is a habit. For example, I cook
every day.
Past tense shows that an action has happened
already. For example, I cooked beans yesterday.
The future tense shows that an action will
happen later. It uses the helping verbs
“will”, and “going to” before the main
verb. For example, I will cook rice
tomorrow.
PAST PARTICIPLES

The Past participle is a word derived from a verb


that can be used as an adjective to form perfect
verb tenses and to form the passive voice. They
are usually used with helping verbs “have,"
"has," or "had" to indicate completed actions or
states. For Example, I have cooked noodles for
breakfast.
