Verbs express actions, occurrences, or states of being. This section will discuss the three types of verbs, the different forms of verbs , the tenses of verbs , the mood of verbs , and the voice of verbs.
Action verbs are either transitive or intransitive.
John cried . Mary ran to catch the dog. Bill thought he saw a monster. A transitive verb directs its action toward a person or thing called a direct object. When the direct object receives the action from the verb, the meaning of the sentence is complete.
