action that is happening now is
called a present tense verbpresent tense verb.

through the sky.
FliesFlies is a present tense verb
because it is happening right

which happened some time ago
are past tense verbs.

bone.

verb because the action
has already happened.

Future Verbs
Verbs which tell about actions
which are going to happen are
future tense verbs.

six a.m.
Will awakenWill awaken is a future tense
verb because the action has
not yet happened.
Future tense verbs
Future tense verbs use
special words to talk about
things that will happen: will,
going to, shall, aim to, etc.
going to start
shall email
will enjoy
Linking Verbs
A linking verb links its
subject to a word in
the predicate.
Linking verbs express
a condition or a state
of being. The cow is blue.

 There are nine common linking verbs:
am

 A helping verb helps a main verb express action or
precise shades of meaning.

Helping Verbs
Other things to keep in mind:
•Not every sentence will have a
helping verb with the main
verb.
•When you see an "ing" verb
such as "running", be on the
lookout for a helping verb also.
Helping Verbs
•Sometimes there is another word
which separates the helping verb from
the main verb. One common example
is "not.”
The boy could not find his socks.
The helping verb is could and the main verb is find.
Helping Verbs
•A sentence may contain up to
three helping verbs to the main
verb.
•An example would be:
The dog must have been chasing the cat.
The helping verbs are: must, have, and been;
the main verb is chasing.

6. The girl sang in the competition.
7. Always do your best.
8. The earth revolves around the sun.
Transitive Verbs
 A transitive verb does have a direct
object.
Example: The pilot landed the antique
airplane. (Airplane is the direct object that
answers the question landed what? After
the verb landed.)
Intransitive Verbs
Intransitive verbs are action verbs that do not have a
direct object.
Linking verbs are ALWAYS intransitive.
Intransitive verbs never answer the questions “who”
or “what”.
Example: The pilot landed carefully. (There is no direct
object answering the question landed what? Or whom?)
Let’s practice.
Determine if each verb is transitive or intransitive.
1. Hopefully, it will snow this year.
2. The student asked his teacher a question.
3. Jackson is very energetic.
4. Students in the class were really loud.
5. I am confused about algebra.
