A Test on Verbs
Remember that the verb in a sentence tells us what the subject is doing. So, you might find it helpful to think of verbs as "doing words." More specifically, verbs are words that express physical actions (e.g., to run), mental actions (e.g., to think), or states of being (e.g., to be).
- Note 1: From Level 8, this test includes verbs in non-simple tenses (e.g., was walking, had been talking).
- Note 2: Do not click on the present participles (e.g., cooking) or the past participles (e.g., cooked) functioning as adjectives (e.g., cooking oil, cooked meat.)
