BASIC GRAMMAR is a must. Today, we will talk about action verbs.
Action verbs show an action. They are words that show the state of doing something. These are the most common verb forms. Action verbs need “s” at the end of the word when using with “he”, “she”, or it”. “S” is not needed at the end of the action word with “I”, “you”, “they”, or “we”.
Action verbs
He, She, and It
He walks to school.
He lives in a house.
She writes stories.
She drives to work.
It floats on water.
It swims in the ocean.
I, You, and They
I walk to school.
I live in a house.
You write stories.
You drive to work.
They float on water.
We swim in the ocean.
More examples:
He exercises every morning.
He likes baseball.

It works well.

I eat meat.
I study at the library.
You speak a different language.
You drink milk.
They sing at church.
They sleep early.
We work in an office.
We play in the backyard.
Action verbs can be turned into negative sentences.
Negative sentences need “do not” or “does not” before the action verb. When using “does not” or “do not”, the action verb does not need “s” at the end of the word.
For examples:
He does not walk to school.
He does not live in a house.
She does not write stories.
She does not drive to work.
It does not float on water.
It does not swim in the ocean.
I do not eat meat.
I do not study at the library.
You do not speak a different language.
You do not drink milk.
They do not sing at church.
They do not sleep early.
We do not work in an office.
We do not play in the backyard.
Action verbs can be turned into questions or interrogative sentences.
Interrogative sentences begin with “do” or “does”. They always end with a question mark (?). Use “does” before “he”, “she”, and it”. Use “do” before “I”, “you”, “they”, and “we”.
