NARRATOR:
Well what a lovely view.
The perfect place to tell you all about verbs.
Ooh I spoke too soon — there’s some building work going on.
Where were we? Oh yes.
A verb is a word used to describe an action.
That’s doing something.
Or a verb can be used to describe a state.
That’s feeling something.
Or a verb can be used to describe an occurrence.
That’s something happening.
You can’t even have a sentence or question without a verb.
That’s how amazingly important verbs are.
The workers here are working.
Working is a doing word.
They work up on this building all day long.
Work is also a verb because it is an occurrence.
Ooh dear, what’s this?
They can hear something.
Hear is also a verb.
The workers can see a gorilla monster, climbing the building.
Yes that’s correct — gorilla monster.
You climbed the building.
You are a clever gorilla monster.
