The 'Being' Verbs — Am, Is, Are, Was, Were 🌟

Hi there! I'm so excited to welcome your child to English for Kids: What Is a Verb? I've spent years helping young learners build confidence in English grammar, and I know firsthand how much of a difference it makes when a child truly gets a concept — not just memorizes it. In this course, I've packed everything into bite-sized, joyful lessons that make verbs feel less like a grammar rule and more like a superpower. I can't wait to see your child's face light up the first time they spot a verb all on their own!
