WHAT IS
ACTION
VERBS? As the name suggests, an action verb is used

to represent the action done by the subject in

a sentence. Action verbs cannot be used as

linking verbs. They have only one function, and

that is to denote the action in a sentence.

Action verbs are used immediately after the

noun or pronoun that acts as the subject in a

sentence. Action Verbs can be written in past

tense, simple, or continuous form.

 What will you cook for tonight?

Don’t worry too much. We support

NOUN + VERB your decision.

My sister sold her laptop

yesterday.

something was in the past. It’s one of the

three main tenses alongside present and

future, and it has four kinds: past simple,

past perfect, past continuous and past

perfect continuous.
