What IS a verb? Basically, its shows action. Verbs can be words
like run, jump, eat, drive, etc. In order to be proper, all
sentences MUST contain a verb and a noun/subject. Example: The
sentence I am. Is considered to be a complete sentence, because it
contains a verb and a noun/subject.
Slide 4
Verbs and Their Subjects. Some verbs can support a sentence by
them selves, these are called intransitive. Others, require a
sentence to make them complete. Those would be called transitive.
Example: Transitive She gave money to the church. Intransitive The
building collapsed. However, you can not always tell which one it
may be just from looking at it, because sometimes, a verb can be
both! Example: "The monster collapsed the building by sitting on
it." Some verbs can support a sentence by them selves, these are
called intransitive. Others, require a sentence to make them
complete. Those would be called transitive. Example: Transitive She
gave money to the church. Intransitive The building collapsed.
However, you can not always tell which one it may be just from

Verbs must agree with their person, being whatever point of
view they are being spoken from. There are three point of views:
first, second and third person. Some first person pronouns are
things like: I, me, we, and us. They usually address the name of
the speaker. Second person pronouns will always address someone
else directly, usually using you. And third person pronouns will
refer directly to others using: he, she, it, they, and them. Some
singular pronouns will require different verbs than others.
Slide 6
Verbs must agree with their numbers, numbers meaning whether
their noun/subject is singular or plural. Dont be confused, use the
rule of 1-S!! Rule of 1-S says: If the noun/subject ends in s or
es, then the verb will not, also, if the verb ends in s, the
noun/subject will not! Either the subject or the verb will end in
-s-- but not both. See? Simple!
