2) Core Concepts: What Are Action Words? 🤔

An action word tells us what someone or something does.

These words are called verbs.

Action Verb (Action Word) Example Sentence
Eating eat I eat mangoes.
Sleeping sleep The cat sleeps on the bed.
Running run She runs fast.

Verbs show action. They tell us what is happening.

Rule 2: Action words can change to show time.

4) Did You Know? 🌟

In Hindi, action words are called "क्रिया" (Kriya). Just like in English, they tell us what someone is doing!
