Verbs
Verbs are the predicate or action of the subject in the sentence. Verbs tell the reader what the noun is doing. Ask, "What is the subject doing?" to find the verb.
Examples; running, talking or writing. Use of correct verb tense is a primary literacy skill that when mastered, ensures that your child's English Grammar is correct and easy to read.
