Action or Linking Verb?If the subject is doing the action, then it’s definitely an action verb.– He looked at the potatoes. (He is doing
the looking.)

good.)

The past tense describes an action that has already taken place. The past tense is most often formed by adding -ed to the verb. • We rested last Sunday. The future tense describes an action that will take place in the future. The future tense is formed by adding the helping verb will (or shall) to the verb. • We will rest next Sunday.

Verb FormsVerbs in the progressive form describe action that continues. The present progressive form of a verb describes an action that is continuing at the present time. The present progressive form consists of a helping verb (am, are, or is) plus the present participle of the main verb. • I am laughing at the joke.• They are running down the street.
![Page 25: Verbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165cd550346895dd8da49/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Perfect TensesThe present perfect tense of a verb is used to describe an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past. It is also used to describe something that happened in the past and is still going on. The present perfect tense is formed by combining the helping verb have or has with the past participle of the main verb. • Ms. Taylor has recycled glass jars for years. • Daniel’s family has visited the beach every
summer of his life.
![Page 27: Verbs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165cd550346895dd8da49/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The past perfect tense of a verb describes an action that happened before another action or event in the past. The past perfect tense is formed by combining the helping verb had with the past participle of the main verb. • Until she started collecting cans, Marella
had recycled only newspapers. • They had planned to practice after
school, but the weather prevented them.
