      What is a verb?

      A word that expresses

      action

      condition

      state of being

      Verbs are commonly known as action words

      FINITE VERBS (a.k.a. MAIN VERBS)

      Make a statement

      Express a state of being

      Can remain by themselves in a sentence

      Ex: The accident ruined my car. The apple pie tasted delicious. The baseball player caught the pop-fly ball. Who ate the last cookie? Stop! NONFINITE VERBS (a.k.a. VERBALS)

      Are not complete and so cannot be used by themselves in a sentence

      Instead, they need to be used with auxiliary (helping) verbs

      Nonfinite verb forms include:

      gerunds

      infinitives

      participles
