Verbs

Verbs indicate the actions and relationships among ideas. They carry important information such as the time or the number of ideas in the sentence.

Descriptions	Examples
Verb tense indicates a sentence’s time frame.	Currently, the team works in a rented space downtown.
Subject-verb agreement reiterates the number of ideas in a sentence’s subject.	Some members work from off-site locations.
Verb transitivity indicates whether two or more ideas in a sentence are related as subject and object (using a transitive verb), or if the sentence only contains a subject (using an intransitive verb).	Team leaders hold occasional team-building meetings as a result. Everyone participates.
Active/passive voice indicates which idea takes the focus in the sentence. Passive voice shifts the focus from the subject to the object using a grammatical structure (be + verb) followed by an optional phrase (by + subject), and as a result, is only possible with transitive verbs.	These meetings are led by different team members each week.
