A verb is a doing word<\/strong> or action word<\/strong> that tells us what a person, animal, or thing is doing, feeling, or being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These four forms are the ones children use most in writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base is the plain word, as in play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past tells what already happened, as in played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The he\/she\/it form is for one person now, as in plays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The -ing form is for an action going on, as in playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some past forms do not add -ed. They change the word, as in go, went, and eat, ate. Both kinds are in the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
