  • Some verbs express actions. go sit run crawl scream
  • Different forms of the verb be tell us what a person or a thing is. is are am was were been being
  • Different forms of the verb have show possession or belonging. has have had
  • The verbs be, have and do can be used both as main verbs and as helping verbs. He is a handsome boy. (main verb)
