Verbs Word Search
This verbs word search gathers forty words on what verbs do and how they change: action verb, helping verb and linking verb, the past, present and future tenses, modals such as could and should, and irregular forms like swam and brought.
An action verb tells what the subject does: run, jump, think. A linking verb such as seem or become connects the subject to a word that describes it, and a helping verb like will or must sits in front of the main verb to add time or certainty. A transitive verb needs an object, so "she brought" is unfinished until you say what she brought. The imperative gives an order with no subject at all: "Sit."
Irregular verbs are among the oldest words in English. Swim, swam and sing, sang keep a vowel change that goes back to Old English, a pattern linguists call ablaut. Over the centuries many verbs have drifted toward the regular -ed ending: helped once had the past form holp, and climbed was clomb. A few went the other way, and dove grew up beside dived in American English.
