Introduction to verbs | The parts of speech | Grammar | Khan Academy Video Lecture | Complete Course on English Grammar: Upgrade your Speaking & Listening - Personal Skills

hello grammarians today I'd like to
introduce you to the verb which is
another part of speech but I suppose the
most fruitful place for us to begin is
by asking what is a verb verb is a part
of speech that has a bunch of different
functions but one of its most important
functions is that it can express or show
action verbs can show action in order to
demonstrate this I have brought along a
little cartoon bear and I'm going to use
this bear in several sentences each of
which will contain a verb because all
sentences contain verbs so I'm going to
write a couple of sentences about the
bear and every time I use a verb I'm
going to write it in yellow like that
here we go
the bear roars the bear runs
the bear sleeps now each one of these
words in yellow is a verb each one of
them is an action and this is the first
thing that verbs can do verbs can show
action in sentences and in fact all
sentences must contain verbs you can
