Describe the kinds of verb

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

There are 3 types of verbs

action verbs
linking verbs
helping verbs

Explanation:

action verbs

An action verb is a verb that describes an action, like run, jump, kick, eat, break, cry, smile, or think.

linking verbs

A linking verb is a verb that links (connects) the subject of the sentence to information about that subject. Linking verbs do not describe action. When using linking verbs, the sentence structure will be : SUBJECT--->LINKING VERB---> INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBJECT (noun)(verb)(adjective, noun, or complement)

helping verbs

Helping verbs are verbs that are used in a verb phrase (meaning, used with a second verb) to show tense, or form a question or a negative. Helping verbs are used to show the perfect verb tenses, continuous/progressive verb tenses, and passive voice. Helping verbs are always followed by a second verb.
