Verbs

Verbs

Doing words are called verbs. They tell us what persons, animals or things are doing.

Examples
  • A horse runs.
  • The fan spins.
  • Neeta dances.

The words runs, spins and dances tell us about what an animal, a thing or a person does.

Use of is/am/are

To show that an action is happening now, we use a being verb (is/am/are) and then add 'ing' to a doing verb.

Look at these sentences :
  • I am eating snacks.
  • Rita is singing a song.
  • Amit and his friends are playing football.

We use the words is, am and are with the -ing form of verb.

  • We use am when we are talking about 'I'.
  • We use is when we are talking about one person.
  • We use are when we are talking about you or more than one person.

To show that somebody owns something, or that there is a relation between the owner and the thing, we use the verbs 'have' and 'has'.
We put 'have' after I, we, you, they, these, those and all plural nouns.
We put 'has' after he , she, it, this, that and all singular nouns (except I and You).

Examples:
  • You have a pen but I have a pencil.
  • He has three chocolates but she has only two.
