Action verbs are the vehicles of grammar city; they provide
motion to the nouns. Action verbs do just what they sound like: they perform an
action. It can be any action, whether it is run, jump, fall, sit, sleep, cry,
dive, or yell. For example:
Zoë rolls down the hill and
into the pool.
Abigail eats all her
vegetables.
Koala bears sleep much more
than an average human does.
Fire consumes oxygen fast;
without oxygen, the fire would die.
In the above sentences, the verbs “rolls”, “eats”, “sleep”,
“consumes”, and “die” all show the action of the subject.
