VERBS
Action & Being Verbs-Copy in Daybook
The Verb tells what the subject is, has, does, or feels!
Example: Burt works at the park. He loves his job.

Action verbs: refer to physical action than can be seen. Others

refer to mental action that can’t be seen example: The
gardener feeds the ducks.

Verbs express a state of being. They simply tell what the

subject is.
example: Burt is the gardener’s assistant.
One swan looks angry.
Identify each verb in the sentences. Does it
express action or a state of being?
