Weekly vocabulary.

 verb:  Is a word (part of speech) that conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), or a state of being (be, exist, stand).

Linking verbs: Verbs that do not show action; instead, the linking verb renames or describes the subject.

Action verbs: express action by describing the behavior of a person, place or thing. They may
describe physical or mental actions.

Auxiliary verbs:  which are sometimes called helping verbs, act as helpers to other verbs. They
appear in front of action verbs and linking verbs.

A transitive verb always has a noun that receives the action of the verb.
