A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being. The three main types of verbs are action verbs, linking verbs, and auxiliary, or helping, verbs. Action verbs show action or possession. They may be classified as either transitive or intransitive. A transitive verb has a direct object, whereas an intransitive verb does not have either a direct object or an indirect object.

Linking verbs connect a sentence’s subject with a noun or an adjective that renames or describes the subject. Be and its forms—am, are, is, was, and were—are linking verbs.

Auxiliary, or helping, verbs occur before action verbs or linking verbs. They give more information about time, possibility, or obligation. Auxiliary verbs include can, might, must, will, and would. Additionally, the forms of the verbs to be, to do, and to have sometimes serve as helping verbs.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
