Action verbs

Action verbs show an action. They are words that show the state of doing something. These are the most common verb forms. Action verbs need "s" at the end of the word when using with "he", "she", or it". "S" is not needed at the end of the action word with "I", "you", "they", or "we".

Action verbs can be turned into questions or interrogative sentences.

Interrogative sentences begin with "do" or "does". They always end with a question mark (?). Use "does" before "he", "she", and it". Use "do" before "I", "you", "they", and "we".
