Verbs are words used to indicate action, state, or
occurrence. For a better understanding of what verbs are, please
surf to the websites listed below. Clicking the blue links will take you
to the specific pages where the definitions, classifications or
interactive exercises are located, while clicking the website name will
take you to the home page.
Listed below are links
to interactive quizzes, exercises, worksheets, printables, and lesson
plans in verbs from the best ESL and EFL resources on the
Internet. Clicking the blue links will take you to the specific
page where these resources are located, while clicking the website name
will take you to the home page. Take time to browse these excellent
websites; they are consistently good and fast loading. Besides the
activities and exercises listed below, these sites generously offer, free
of charge, a tremendous range of valuable resources for ESL and EFL
teachers and students. (Since gerunds and infinitives are used as nouns,
we have included them in the Nouns section of this website. Our experience
is that students get confused when gerunds and infinitives are discussed
under Verbs.)
In answering the interactive exercises, you should
follow carefully the prompts and directions. You should read each sentence or part aloud before
clicking the answer you think is right. After the correct answer is
displayed, think it over as to why it is the correct answer. (Please take
note that the correct answer may depend on whether the exercise comes from
an American English or a British English website.) After doing so, read
the complete sentence again aloud with the correct answer.
To train yourself to
think in English, try to recite the sentences with the correct answers
from memory and at your full speaking volume. Or you can ask a
friend to read out loud the sentences with the correct answers and you
repeat them without looking at the computer screen.
