The verb is the part of speech that shows action or a state of being. Every sentence must have a verb in it and it is considered an extremely important part of speech in understanding the meaning of a sentence. Unlike other parts of speech, verbs change their form to show different tenses (past, present, or future), indicate number (singular or plural) and to let the reader know what person (first person, second person, third person). Our verb book is intended to be a fun initial exploration of verbs to help children understand the ‘job’ or role of verbs.
