Answer:

There are 3 types of verbs

  1. action verbs
  2. linking verbs
  3. helping verbs

Step-by-step 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.
