What is a Verb
A verb is a word that shows what someone does or what something is.
Examples:
Action: run, eat, play
→ She runs fast.
State of being: am, is, are
→ He is happy.
In today's lesson, we are gonna look at two types of verbs. The Main and the Auxiliary verb ( Helping Verb )
1. Main verbs.
These verbs show the action in a sentence. for example we have ( eat, sleep, go, play, read, study ).
We use them to say what someone does.
Examples:
I eat breakfast.
She goes to school.
They play football.
Next we are going to have AUXILIARY VERBS.
2. Auxiliary Verbs
These verbs help the main verb. There are two main classes of auxiliary verbs which are:
1. Primary auxiliaries ( do, be, have )
2. Modal auxiliaries ( may, can, will etc )
In this lesson we will focus on just "be and do".
The Verb "Be" (am, is, are)
The verb "be" is a very important verb in English. It is used to talk about who someone is,
what something is, or how someone feels. Let's see a few examples.
I am a student.
You are my friend.
He is tired.
We are ready.
They are happy.
The Verb "Do" and "Does"
"Do" and "Does" are forms of the verb "do". We use them to:
a. Talk about actions
b. Make questions
c. Make negative sentences
Let's break this down.
Examples (Action):
I do my homework every day.
She does her homework after dinner.
Examples (Questions):
Do you like pizza?
Does he play football?
Examples (Negatives):
I do not (don’t) like coffee.
