Verbs

Verbs!
Every word in the English Language is identified as a part of speech.
Like pieces to a puzzle, when put together in right order, shape sentences.
Verbs are one of the parts of speech that show action, show a state of being,
and inform us of the active voice.
the "to be" verbs:
am ,is, are, was, were, will be, being, and been
ex. i am happy when i perform on stage.
Laura is the main character
We are continuing to work hard for the playwrite.
Sheila will share her experiences in acting.
the "helping" verbs:
has, had, do, does, did, am, are, was, were, will, would ,shall, may,
mght, must, can, and could.
they combine with other verbs to form tenses.
Susan has only one scene to perform
Frank was having a stress attack
Justin shall allow my character to live
Jennifer must allow Terence to be himself
the "regular" verb
end their past and participle forms with d, ed, t, and en
the verb finish is: finished regular . . shop becomes shopped
accept becomes accepted
irregular verbs change the ending as they change tense:
there are many irregular verbs. to list a few:
awake becomes awoke or becomes awoken
bleed becomes bled
build becomes built
The active verb performs
The passive verb receives
active voice verbs are in 1st person
Please take your clothes to the cleaners - active
She took her clothes to the cleaners - passive
Linking verbs links subject to object.
Linking verbs may be transitive or intransitive
intransitive verbs do not require the subject to perform for an object.
example, fish die or Aaaron wept or Jerry laughed.
transitive verbs require an object
for example, Mr. J looks irritable
The island seems impossible to get to
I advised you to explore your options

Grammar -
say you witnessed the most amazing soccer goal in yesterdays match of Liverpool and Cheslea, two professional English soccer teams.
sentence: a rocket exploded off the foot of Chelsea defensman, Robert Jones, as he kicked a screaming bender into the back net of the Liverpool goal!
the sentence has a subject (a rocket) it has a verb (exploded) it has a direct object (foot) indirect object (Robert Jones) a preposition
a proper noun, several modifiers, structurally parralel, and uses some figurative to enhance the theme of the sentence.
past perfect tense
3rd person narrative
Verbs are action words
nouns are placeholders
adjectives and adverbs modify
prepositions indicate time and place
interjections add character to the sentence
conjunctions/auxilliaries connect it all together.
Every sentence has a subject and a verb.
I ran to the supermarket
My tooth hurts'
The garden smells great!
My friend is an extremely brilliant singer
My friend (subject)
is (linking verb)
extremely brilliant (modifiers - adjectives)
singer (object complement (tells us about the friend.
The lazy cat impressed many at the party, as it sang "row row row your boat."
again, the lazy cat (subject)
impressed (verb)
many (adverb modifier)
at the party (prepositions)
as it sang(a verb phrase)
"row row row your boat" is the object of the subject, lazy cat.
easy! now let's talk in depth for each part of speech and discuss the relationship of voice, persona, and aesthetic qualities.
first, we know voice is the tense (past, present, or future)
we know persona will be 1st 2nd or 3rd
we know aesthetic qualities or those qualities which make writing sound more cohesive, colorful, and structurally sound.

track two

Track Two
The active voice performs an expression
It attempts an action to communicate a point of view
It explains, advises, demands, amuses, offends, suggests, implies,
infers, projects, summarizes, implies, mocks, and can criticize.
Your active voice represents you! it is active, meaning, it is happening now.
The object is to learn to control your voice, which acts upon thought.
Control the voice; don't let it control you!
Your voice, which is part of your emotional being, can lose focus.
many times, our emotions will get in the way of our voice.
anger or hate or even jealousy can deviate from an honest intent
to clarify a situation.
Especially in writing, your voice can stray, becoming incoherent, structureless, and empty of substance.
examples of voice:
1. television is a complete waste of valuable time. Yet without it, life would be boring.
2. Domesticating an animal other than a cat or a dog should be illegal.
3. Calfornia may have great weather, but the smog is unbearable!
Your assignment - write a sentence or two by establishing a clear and active voice on the following words.
1. conceit
2. anger
3. happiness
4 concern
5. worry
6. regret
7. frustration
8. exhiliration
9. love
10. a conviction
Track three
when you write, your voice may indicate time, an action, a condition, or an event. this is called the tense. it is governed by the verb. the varb, which we will talk about later, is a word that acts or links the subject by an action.
the present tense
" I go" is simple present- tells us, simply, an action performing by the subject.
I am going" is what we call the present progressive.
progress is an action in motion. present progressive tells us specifically the action is happening now by the subject.
" i have gone" - the present perfect. it tells us action that happened in the

They will provide students with valuable instruction.
They will keep the classroom from escessive waste.
And most importantly, musepod is easy to use, doesn't take up
any space, it does not weigh a ton, and it can be kept, saved, and stored for anytime, present and future.
Finally, each track will be accompanied the many sounds of life!
Enjoy!
