At the end, a verb table is provided consisting of 108 strong, descriptive verbs across six categories (speech, movement, emotions, actions, senses & thoughts). Students then have to choose a verb from each of the categories and create sentences with those verbs. Instructions contain suggested follow-up activities.

It covers ‘doing’ verbs, ‘being’ verbs, ‘state’ verbs and ‘helping’ verbs. A wide range of examples are provided across verb tenses.

The final section of the presentation focuses on encouraging students to be creative with verb use by substituting more descriptive verbs for generic ones.
