Summary
Get ready to learn about verbs! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to these very important - and very active - words. Find out what parts of a sentence tell you more about how a verb works, as well as what can receive the action of a verb. You’ll also learn what question to ask in order to uncover the direct object of a verb, and what question to ask to pinpoint the indirect object. Finally, you’ll learn how each of these objects function in a sentence to modify a verb. Verb power!
