Verbs
Verbs are one of the two main parts of a sentence, along with nouns. You need a noun
and a verb to make a complete sentence.
What is a verb?
Verbs are action words (eg: shout, jump, run, and eat.) They tell us what’s happening in
the sentence. They also sometimes tell us about a state of being.
There are three types of verbs:
Action verbs (which can be transitive or intransitive), 行为动词
Modal verbs (sometimes called helping verbs), 情态动词
Auxiliary verbs (sometimes called linking verbs). 助动词
Verbs
What is an Action Verb?
When a person or thing is doing something, that’s an action verb. Action verbs are the
best ones to use in your writing to move your story forward and create tension. They can
be split into two categories:
1) Transitive verbs. 及物动词
This verb is always followed by a noun that’s receiving the action, called the direct
object.
I patted my dog’s head.
The teacher hit the student at school.
I caught a cold.
She loves rainbows.
Verbs
2) Intransitive verbs. 不及物动词
When an action verb has no direct object, it’s called an intransitive verb. Intransitive verbs can be
followed by an adverb or adverb phrase, but there will never be a direct object.
Matthew runs quickly away.

The car stopped.
I stopped the car. ( transitive verb)
The verb is “runs,” and the phrase “quickly away” tells us more about the verb, but there is no object
here to receive the action.
An easy way to tell the difference between a transitive and an intransitive verb is to ask the
question, “What is receiving the action from this verb?” If you can name a noun that’s on the
receiving end, it’s a transitive verb. If you can’t name a noun, whether a direct or indirect object,
then the verb is intransitive.
Verbs
What is a Modal Verb?
Modal verbs help us understand more about the verb in question. It expresses ability,
permission, advice, obligation, or possibility.
These words always function as modal verbs, or helping verbs:
• can • could • may • might • must • ought to • shall • should • will • would
Type Modal Verbs Examples
ability can / could David can speak 4 languages. He could speak fluent French...
permission can / could / may Can I sit ...? Could I open the ...? May I borrow your book?
advice should You should visit the doctor. / You should try to lose weight.
obligation must / have to I must memorize ... / You have to do your homework.
possibility might / may / could / can It looks nice, but it might be very expensive. / Richard may
be...
Verbs
What is an Auxiliary Verb?
Linking verbs connect the subject of your sentence to a noun or adjective that describes
your subject.
Connie is beautiful.
My daughter is a nurse.
We are your new neighbors.
The most common linking verb is the various forms of “to be” (am, are, is, was, were,
etc.).
Verbs
“To become” and “to seem” are always linking verbs. The following verbs, however, can
sometimes be linking verbs and other times be action verbs:
• to appear • to continue • to feel • to grow • to look • to prove • to remain • to sound • to

stay • to smell • to taste • to turn
Linking: The seafood smelled funny.
Action: I smelled the seafood before eating.
