PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Wordswork staff decides on an action theme as they prepare the latest issue of their literary magazine, and that can mean only one special group of words: verbs. In Verbs, the team searches through their stories, finding the words that bring sentences to life: 'run,' 'jump,' 'laugh!' They learn the rules for changing the tense of these action words, placing them in the past, present or future, and they use simple tests to tell if a word is really a verb. Along the way, our inquisitive editors discover that verbs aren't only action words! There are also verbs of being, like 'am,' 'was' and 'is,' not to mention helping verbs, like 'will' and 'has.' Viewers will have fun playing along with the Wordswork team as they put their knowledge of verbs to use in a fun word game! Part of the multivolume Grammar for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
