Sometimes verbs that are just a little boring!They don’t give lots of information about the action or make the text
very exciting.
One day, Goldilocks walked through the forest.
We can replace ‘walked’ with a different, powerful verb which shows the action clearly and gives clues about how or why the action is taking place.
One day, Goldilocks skipped through the forest.
One day, Goldilocks sauntered through the forest.

"The Sea Monster should go away"
'Should' is the modal verb here as it
indicates the likelihood of the Sea Monster
going away.
