ASL Action and Being Verbs

Verbs are a necessary part of virtually every sentence. There are only two kinds of verbs: action and being verbs. Do you know the difference between the two? In this video, you and your kids will learn the verbs that fall into the action group and the ones that fall into the being group.

A verb is a basic part of speech that shows an action, occurrence, or state of being. Action verbs show action or occurrence while being verbs describe a state of being. Most of the time, verbs show action. Examples include, run, play, study, go, drive, and chase. In the sentence My cat chases mice, what is the verb? You probably figured it out! Try switching the verb for another one and see how the sentence changes.

Action verbs essentially describe what someone or something did. Some verbs are a little less obvious. In the sentence Mom and Andrew went shopping yesterday, the verb is went. There are a ton of action verbs, but only eight being verbs! They are is, am, are, was, were, be, being, and been. It is a good idea to memorize this list so you can always remember the being verbs. As you can see, verbs are very important in sentences. Without them, sentences would fall apart!
