VerbsMade for first grade students

Hi FranklinWe are learning about verbs but I’m still not sure what a verb is. Can you tell me what a verb is?

Sure JoJo. It’s really very simple. Verbs are words. They are action words.

Action words?Can you give me some examples?

Sure. The words run, jump, skip and sing are action words. They are verbs. Let’s watch a short video to see more verbs.
