Action Verbs
Verbs are the action part of a sentence and are such an important part of our language and writing.
Verb Song
Lyrics:
I’m running, jumping, singing
That’s because I am a verb
I’m coming, going, hitting, throwing,
Riding, hiding, gliding, sliding
Because I’m a verb.
I’m a verb, verb, verb
I’m an action word.
So put me where the action is
‘cause I’m an action word.
