Examples of action verbs: run, jump, laughing Examples of being verbs: am, was, be Regular verbs: Regular verbs are verbs that we can simply add –ed to the end of the verb to make it past tense.

Examples: see  saw bring  brought feel  felt Verb Tenses There are many verb tenses. Each tense tells the reader when the action of the verb occurs. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
