 song?

The verbs in this song are action verbs.

Right?
Most action verbs
- represent a visible action (physical).
- one that can be seen with our eyes.
For example: walk, surf, gallop,
chop, row, swing, and punch

Some action verbs are more difficult

to identify because the action is far less
obvious,
as in: depend, yearn, foresee,
understand, consider, dream, imagine
require, mean, remember,
and suppose. It is helpful to remember
that mental verbs are action verbs too,
even though they are less visible than
the others.

Another type of verb is the linking

verb.
- Unlike the action verb, it expresses a
state of being or a condition.
- Specifically, it links, or connects, a
noun with an adjective (a descriptor) or
another noun (an identifier) in a
sentence.
Examples:
a. Nathan and Sara are hardworking
students.
b. Collin was tired after his golf game.

be verbs are the most common linking

verb. They are ALWAYS linking verbs
because they never describe an
action.

Some linking verbs can be tricky to

 identify because they appear to be
action verbs. Their job in the sentence
is to clarify the condition or state of the
noun to which they are connected. They
can also be used as an action verb.

Examples: grow, appear, stay, remain,

taste and smell

Generalization
Verbs are generally divided into two
main categories:
The action verb – a verb that tells
what action someone or something is
performing. It can either be a physical
action verb or a mental action verb
and The linking verb – a verb
that links (connects) the subject of the
sentence to an information about that
subject.

There are also some verbs which can

function as an action verb and a linking
verb, such as : grow, appear, stay, and
smell

D. Application (speed game)

The class will be divided into two
groups.
The teacher will give them strips of
papers that contain several
components/parts of sentences.
Task:
Each group will have to formulate 5
sentences with action verbs and 5
sentences with linking verbs using the
given paper strips. Sentences should
make sense; otherwise, it will not be
counted. The first group to finish the
