Lesson 3: Linking VerbsSlide2

Review…

We have learned how to check for a complete sentence. (capital, punctuation, S

 V)

We have learned the PENS strategy, and how to use it to write our own complete sentence.

We have learned about action verbs, and how to use them in a sentence. Slide3

Linking Verbs

Words that link the

subject

of the sentence to a word that

describes

the subject.

The 9 Linking Verbs:

Am, Is, Are, Was, Were, Seem, Be, Been, Become Slide4

Example

Simon was old.

When a word links a subject to another word that describes the subject,

we say it shows the

“state-of-being”

of the subject.

A linking verb helps us understand what the subject is

like

or the state of the subject’s being (how they are

feeling, acting, doing

, etc.) Slide5

Verb

A word that shows the action or state of being of the subject. Slide6

Using the Search and Check

Use the Search and Check (MARK) step of the PENS strategy with Linking Verbs.

A = is there an action or a linking verb?

R = Root out my subject

K = Key in on the beginning, ending and meaningSlide7

Lesson 4: infinitivesSlide8

Review

We have learned how to check for a complete sentence. (capital, punctuation, S

 V)

We have learned the PENS strategy, and how to use it to write our own complete sentence.

We have learned about action verbs, and how to use them in a sentence.

Now, we have also learned about linking verbs and how to use them in a sentence.Slide9

Purpose

Sometimes sentences will have words that can be a verb… and that can be confusing.

We will be learning the M part of our search and check step (MARK), and how to find the real verb and subject in our sentences. Slide10

M =

M =

Mark out imposters

.

Imposters are things that try to be something they are not, or something else. Slide11

Infinitives

An infinitive is made up of two words –

“to”

and a

verb

.

The purest form of a verb before it is changed to go with a subject. Slide12

Examples

To run

To paint

To jump

To sing

To climb

***Do not confuse with two or too.***Slide13

Let’s Try It

M = Mark out imposters (let’s look to see if we have an infinitive…) ** I will write an I above one**

A = is there an action verb or a linking verb?

R = root out the subject

K = key in on the beginning, end and meaning
