Understanding Helping Verbs and Action Verbs
-
Helping verbs (e.g., *is, was, have, will, can, could, should, might*) assist the main verb in a sentence.
-
Action verbs express physical or mental actions (e.g., *jump, practiced, call*).
- In each sentence, we need to:
1.
Circle the helping verb(s).
2.
Underline the action verb.
