50 Verbs Starting With T

There are verbs that begin with every letter of the alphabet. The letter "t" is no exception! Below, you'll find 50 of the most commonly used "t" verbs. A definition is provided for each verb, along with several synonyms to think about.

Types of Verbs: 3 Terrific Types

Given their prominence in the English language, it's important to know about different types of verbs. The verbs listed above are action words that demonstrate the action of the sentences in which they appear. However, action verbs aren't the only kind of verb. There are also helping and linking verbs.

• action verb - The most common type of verb is an action verb. These are verbs that highlight things you can do. When you test for a scholarship program, you are engaged in the action of taking a test. If someone were to threaten you, that person would be doing something specific.
• helping verb - Another common form is the helping verb. These assist the main verb by extending its meaning. Using an example from the above list, if we said, "Tyler is transferring the trust fund," "is" is the helping verb to the main (action) verb "transferring."
• linking verb - The English language also has linking verbs. These verbs connect the subject of the sentence to more information but don't demonstrate action. The "to be" verbs (am, is, are, were) are linking verbs. An example would be, "Tommy was tired on Sunday." Here, "was" is the linking verb. It's connecting the subject (Tommy) to an adjective (tired) that describes his state of being.
