What It Is.

A VERB is a doing word that shows an action, an event or a state. A

sentence may have a main verb, a helping verb or both. In other words, a
verb.

• Main Verbs or Action Verbs are used to express action, something that
an animal, a person or a thing does.
Example:
1. The sun shines brightly.
2. The horse neighs loudly.
3. The monkey swings from one branch to another.

• Helping Verbs supports the main verb

Examples:

1. We are learning at home because of the pandemic.

main verb
. helping verb

2. We are answering the modules given to us by our teachers.

main verb
. helping verb

• Linking Verbs are state of being verbs. It explains a link between the
subject of the sentence and noun or adjective being linked to it.
Examples:
1. Diamond is the hardest substance.

Noun adjective
Linking verb

6
 2. The flowers are bright.

Noun adjective
Linking verb

• Understanding Verbs:
✓ The words am, is, are, was and were belong to the Verb “to be”.

✓ We use am or was with the pronoun I.

Example: I am eleven years old.
I was late for school yesterday.

✓ We use is or was when the subject of the sentence is singular.

Example: She is a brilliant speaker.
She was the guest speaker during the graduation day.

✓ We use are or were when the subject in the sentence is plural.

Example: The exercises are difficult.
They were great learners.

• Verb Tense

Tense indicates when the action expressed by a verb takes

place. The three simple tenses are past, present, and future.

Different tenses take different verb forms, either by changing

the word itself or by adding helping verbs. There is no single formula
for how to change verb tenses.
Here are the simple tenses of Verb

1. Present Tense
Present tense expresses unchanging actions and states of being. It is
also used with recurring actions and with universal or widespread
truths.
Examples:
➢ I walk
➢ She runs
2. Past Tense
Past tense is used for actions that started and finished in the past.

Examples:
➢ I walked
➢ She ran
3. Future Tense
Future tense expresses an action or event that will take place in the
future.
Examples:
➢ I will walk
➢ She will run

5
• “Verbal aspect” refers to the timing of the verb. More specifically, it
addresses whether the action occurs in a single block of time, continuously,
or repetitively. All verbs have both tense and aspect. Verbal aspect consists
of simple, progressive, perfect, or perfect progressive, where each refers
to a different fabric of time.

1. Simple
The simple aspect is used to express a single action, a repeated
action, or a permanent state.

Permanent state: Mrs. Cabuyadao lives in Nalasin, Paoay, Ilocos

Norte.
Repeated or habitual action: She runs every morning.
Single action: She graduated from the Philippine Normal University.

2. Progressive
The progressive aspect is used to talk about continuous events.
Examples:
➢ Mrs. Dejolde was lecturing about grammar.
➢ Joyce is reading a novel.

3. Perfect
The perfect aspect is used to discuss completed actions. It is often
formed by the verb have combined with a past tense verb.
Examples:
➢ My family had left before the flooding reached
our home.
➢ She has visited their home in the province.

4. Perfect Progressive
The perfect progressive combines the perfect and the progressive to
refer to the completed portion of a continuous action.
Examples:
➢ The news crew had been working for more than
twelve hours to provide full coverage of the event.
➢ I will have been sleeping for many hours by then.

• The different aspects of verbs are: simple past, simple present, simple
future, present progressive, past progressive, future progressive,
present perfect and past perfect tense.
• The base form and the –s form of verbs are in the present tense.
• The past tense of verbs is used for events that happened at a specific
time in the past.
• The following are used to show future tense; will + verb, will have, be
+ going to +verb.
• The progressive aspect of verb tells about events or actions that are
incomplete or somehow limited.
• The present progressive is used when talking about an action or event
that is going on now or at the moment.

6
 • The past progressive aspect tells that something was going on at a
certain time in the past.
• Present perfect tense is formed with the verb has for singular subject
and have for plural subjects.
• Past perfect tense is formed with the verb had and had been.

What’s More

The following are examples of how action verbs are used in sentences,
keep in mind that you can use more than one action verb in a sentence.
