XXVII - GRAMMAR Verbs

VERBS

Verbs tell us what people (or things) are doing or being. They can change according to the time being spoken about: past, present or future:

For example:

Sam finished his homework in the library.

In this sentence ‘finished’ is the verb (it says what Sam did with his homework in the past).

All sentences need a verb. Here are some examples:

Jenny reads the Metro on the train every morning.

That bicycle belongs to me.

Two verbs are sometimes put together, especially with verbs like can, must, should.

I can see the sea from my house.

You really must see the new Bond film.

We can also use more than one word to form a tense:

We have been driving for hours.
