QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW
When you find yourself confused whether a sentence, has an action word or not, look at all words in the given sentence and ask yourself "is this something !that o person or an object can do"? For example: A boy is reading a book. Here the word reading is a verb or an action word. It suggests that an action is being done. If a verb is not used in a sentence the sentence seems to be incomplete.
For example when I say "I will school".
Does it have any meaning?
Now let us add' go 'to it, and write it as "I will go to school"
We find that just by adding an action word to the whole sentence we are able to add meaning to a sentence.
