Overview

Students review verbs and their classifications, distinguishing between an action verb and a linking verb. Students learn to distinguish between a transitive and an intransitive verb, and learn to identify direct objects and indirect objects. Sentence patterns are introduced.  Students will also distinguish between predicate nouns and predicate adjectives in sentences with linking verbs. New terminology is introduced for helping verbs, and verb tense is reviewed.
