The document provides an overview of verbs for an English class. It discusses the key parts of a sentence, including the subject and predicate. The main types of verbs are then outlined: physical action verbs, mental action verbs, and being verbs. Examples of each verb type are given. Linking verbs are also explained as connecting the subject to a describing word. Students are assigned work to identify and label different verbs in sentences.
