Identify Verb Types and Their Correct Conjugation<\/h2>\r\nFrom\u00a02002 to 2006, The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ran a media campaign entitled\u00a0\"Verb: It's What You Do.\" This campaign was designed to help teens get and stay active, but it also provided a helpful soundbite for defining verbs: \"It's what you do.\"\r\n\r\nVerbs are often called the \"action\" words of language. As we discuss verbs, we will learn that this isn't always the case, but it is a helpful phrase to remember just what verbs are.\r\n\r\n\"a\r\n\r\nTraditionally, verbs are divided into three\u00a0groups: active verbs (these are \"action\" words), linking verbs, and helping\u00a0verbs (these two types of verbs are not<\/em> \"action\" words). In this outcome, we'll discuss all\u00a0three of these groups. We'll also learn how\u00a0verbs work and how they change to suit the needs of a speaker or writer.\r\n
