List of Verbs for Kids
List of Verbs for Kids - Verb Online GamesA verb is a word that conveys ACTION, OCCURRENCE, or STATE OF BEING. Verbs are needed to form complete sentences or questions. In a sentence, a verb works as the main component of the predicate, the part of a sentence that indicates what the subject (person or thing) is or does. The three main types of verbs are action verbs, helping verbs, and linking verbs. Unlike most of the other parts of speech, verbs change their form.

Everything on Verbs | |
|---|---|
| Verbs Tenses | show when the action in the sentence takes place |
| Irregular Verbs | are verbs that do not follow the rules for changing tenses |
| Action Verbs | describe something that a person, animal, thing, or force of nature can do |
| Linking Verbs | do not describe an action, but tell about the state or condition of subjects |
| Helping Verbs | are a set of two or three consonant letters that when pronounced, retain their sound |
Verbs Tenses
A verb tense shows when the action in the sentence takes place. In English, there are a total of 12 verb tenses, as well as conditional tenses that indicate when an action may or may not happen.
The three main tenses on lists of verbs for kids are:
- Past – an action has already happened
- Present – an action is currently happening
- Future – an action will happen at a later time
Verbs are conjugated to communicate details, such as person, number, gender, tense or mood. The following table shows the verb “walk” conjugated to the three main verb forms with the subject being “I”.
Verb Tenses List | |
|---|---|
| Past | Yesterday, I walked to the park. |
| Present | I walk to the park. |
| Future | Next week, I will walk to the park. |
A verb like “walk” is a regular verb because it follows set rules when conjugated (adding -ed to indicate past tense, for example).
Irregular verbs, however, are verbs that do not follow the rules for changing tense. For instance,the verb “sing” is an irregular verb. It does not follow the rule for past tense verbs as “sanged,” but rather as the irregular conjugation “sang.”
Irregular Verbs List | |
|---|---|
| Verb | Past Tense |
| break | broke |
| buy | bought |
| do | did |
| drive | drove |
| eat | ate |
| feel | felt |
| find | found |
| grow | grew |
| have | had |
| ring | rang |
Types of Verbs
Not all verbs serve the same function. Verbs fall into three basic categories: action, linking, and helping.
Action Verbs
Action verbs describe something that a person, animal, thing, or force of nature can do.
Verbs like run or jump are examples of action verbs.
Action Verbs Lists | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| K-2 Verbs | 3-5 Verbs | 6-8 Verbs | 9-12 Verbs |
| eat | climb | compose | negotiate |
| run | grasp | emphasize | fluctuate |
| jump | borrow | interrupt | modify |
| drink | laugh | persuade | extinguish |
| walk | paint | investigate | thrive |
| chop | observe | erupt | eavesdrop |
| sing | rescue | adjust | acquire |
| act | search | vibrate | abolish |
| kick | travel | pursue | confiscate |
| mix | celebrate | verify | plunder |
Linking Verbs
Linking verbs do not describe an action, but tell about the state or condition of subjects.
They link the subject with either a noun that renames it or an adjective that describes it. For example, the word “am” in the sentence “I am tall” describes the subject. There are some action verbs that function as linking verbs, such as grow. In the sentence “He grows tired,” the verb describes the subject rather than an action, so it works as a linking verb. Below are a list of other linking verbs.
Linking Verbs List | |
|---|---|
| Forms of be | be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being |
| Other linking verbs | appear, become, feel, grow, look, seem, remain, smell, sound, stay, taste, turn |
Helping Verbs
Helping verbs do not express action, and they cannot stand alone in a sentence without another verb present. They are part of verb phrases that “help” the main verb. Helping verbs define the tense (past, present, future) or change the meaning of the main verb.
The verb “will” functions as a linking verb in the sentence “He will eat” because it helps the main verb “eat” and indicated a future tense. Some common helping verbs:
Helping Verbs List | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| will | must | must | had |
| had | do | shall | may |
| was | am | did | did |
| have | were | is | does |
| should | has | been | are |
| being | could | might | having |
The following table shows 50 common English verbs conjugated in the past, present, and future tense using the subject “I.” These are commonly found on lists of verbs for kids.

List of Verbs
To go straight to expanded list of verbs, scroll down to the middle of the page for our “huge verbs list”.
What would happen if we didn't have verbs? Not much at all. Verbs are perhaps the most important part of speech in the English language. You can't do or be anything unless a verb lets you. Verbs are everywhere, and it's about time you got to know them with this list of verbs of many types.
Action verbs tell about something a person, animal, force of nature or thing can do or be. Can you cry, march, rinse, or turn? Can the wind blow or a cup fall? Yes, those are all actions. Use this list to think of other action verbs.
Action Verbs List
- add
- drop
- hang
- knit
- obey
- scatter
- visit
- allow
- end
- hug
- jump
- name
- reach
- land
- open
- stay
- walk
- bake
- escape
- imagine
- lock
- pass
- talk
- use
- zip
- damage
- work
- bang
- fasten
- itch
- march
- promise
- turn
- yawn
- kick
- notice
- rinse
- call
- fix
- jog
- mix
- question
- untie
- yell
- chase
- gather
- vanish
- zoom
Verbs also use special rules for telling when something happened – in the past, the present, or the future.
Here is a list of examples for each verb tense using the verb break. Try putting other verbs in the place of break.
Present tense – I/you/we/they break, he/she/it breaks
Past Tense – I/you/he/she/it/we/they broke
Future Tense – I/you/he/she/it/we/they will break
Present Perfect Tense – I/you/he/she/it/we/they have broken
Past Perfect Tense – I/you/he/she/it/we/they had broken
Future Perfect Tense – I/you/he/she/it/we/they will have broken
Being Verbs tell about something in a state of being. A noun or pronoun does not always take action. Sometime, it just is. For that purpose, you use a being verb. Here are the being verbs in all the past, present, and future tenses.
Being Verbs List
- Present tense – I am, you are, he/she/it is, we are, they are
- Past Tense – I was, you were, he/she/it, was, we were, they were
- Future Tense – I will be, you will be, he/she/it will be, we will be, they will be
- Present Perfect Tense – I have been, you have been, he/she/it has been, we have been, they have been
- Past Perfect Tense -I had been, you had been, he/she/it had been, we had been, they had been
- Future Perfect Tense – I will have been, you will have been, he/she/it will have been, we will have been, they will have been
Helping verbs do not stand alone or express action.
They are part of verb phrases that “help” the main verb. Helping verbs define the tense (past, present, future) or change the meaning of the main verb. Consider these examples:
Do you need a tissue?
We are helping the third-grade class.
Hank might have been driving the wrong way.
Helping Verbs List
- may
- being
- is
- does
- would
- will
- might
- been
- was
- did
- have
- can
- must
- am
- were
- should
- had
- shall
- be
- are
- do
- could
- has
Linking verbs do not show action. Instead, they connect nouns and pronouns to other information in the sentence. Here are some examples:
My sister is smart.
The picture appeared blurry.
Your supper smells delicious.
The most common linking verbs are listed here:
Linking Verbs List
- am
- are
- be

- look
- might be
- might have been
- prove
- m
- sit
- smell

Irregular Verbs are verbs that don't follow the rules for changing tense.
The best way to understand irregular verbs is to practice and memorize them.
Here are some common examples shown in the present/past/past participle.
Irregular Verbs List
- bite/bit/bitten
- choose/chose/chosen
- eat/ate/eaten
- fall/fell/fallen
- hurt/hurt/hurt
- go/went/gone
- lay/laid/laid
- ring/rang/rung
- send/sent/sent
- teach/taught/taught
- write/wrote/written
Examples of irregular verbs:
The dog wants to bite me.
The dog bit me.
The dog has bitten me.
My arm hurts.
I hurt my arm yesterday.
I have hurt my arm before.
Verbs do a lot of work in the English language. Some are busy action verbs; others are modest helping or linking verbs. No matter what kind they are, verbs keep the English language movin' and shakin'.

Hey, what's up? Verbs in English are divided into two groups: regular and irregular. Irregular have a special second and third form of the past tense. This list just needs to be learned, and a huge number of collections and tables can be found on the Internet. We also had an article about them .
Contents of the article:
- Rules for adding endings
- List of regular verbs
And today we'll talk about the correct ones, those to which is added in the past tense ending ed .
Rules for adding endings
In all cases, the ending ed is added. But this is not always enough. There are several options.
1. The simplest case - the ending is simply added at the end after the consonant. Brush — brush ed . Consider—consider ed .
2. If there is already an "e" at the end (or even two), we just add d. Arrive-arrive d . Agree - agree d .
3. In verbs that end in "y", this letter is changed to "i". Study - stud ied . Cry - cr ied . But if there is a vowel before "y" in the infinitive, then the substitution is cancelled. Play - pla yed .
4. If the verb ends with one hard consonant preceded by one vowel, then the consonant is doubled if the last syllable is stressed. Drop—drop ped . Refer - refer red . The rule may seem complicated, but over time you will begin to feel it intuitively.
5. If the last letter is "l", then in British English it is always doubled, but in American it is only doubled when the last syllable is stressed. Cancel - led /cance lled .
6. And if the last "x" is not doubled anywhere and never. Fix - fix ed .
There are many rules, but they are very important, and it is imperative to remember them. nine0003
