Verb

Verbs describe what a person or thing does or what is happening. Verbs are words
that give the idea of action, of doing something. words like run, fight, do and work, all
convey action. But some verbs do not give the idea of action but they give the idea of
existence, of state, of ‘being’. verbs like be, exist, seem, and belong all convey state. For
example: - Action: Jack plays football.

- State: Jack seems angry.

Types of verbs, as follow:

A. Action Verb is a word that express action (give, eat, walk, etc.) or possession
(have, own, etc.). Action verbs can be either transitive or intransitive.
- Transitive verbs
A transitive verb has a noun that receives the action of the verb, called
the direct object, for example in the listed below:
• She raises her hand. The verb is raises; her hand is the object that
receiving the verb’s action, Therefore, raises is a transitive verb.
• Bill catches the ball. The verb is catches, and bill is the object that
receiving the verb’s action.

Transitive verbs sometimes have indirect objects, which name the object
to whom or for whom the action was done, for example:

• Abdus gave Becky the pencil. The verb is gave, the direct object is the
pencil. (What did he give? The pencil.) The indirect object is Becky. (To
whom did he give it? To Becky.)
