Example : I, you, they, we, she, he, it, my dad and my mom, Linda and Susi, the bank, the flight schedule, etc.

• Verb

Kinds of verb :

• Action Verb

Also known as MAIN VERB.
Action verbs are words that express action (give, eat, walk, etc.) or possession (have, own, etc.). 
Action verbs can be either transitive (with object) or intransitive (without object). 
Example : Laurissa rises slowly from her seat.

• Linking Verb

A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or describes the subject.
To be : is, am, are, was, were.

Example : We were there!

Verb: seem, appear, become, grow, remain, get, prove, turn, look, sound, smell, taste, feel.

Example : That sounds great!

Modals always function as Helping Verbs.

Modals = can, could, may, might, shall, will, ought to, should, would.

In this occasion, I would like to tell you about things that I have to bring everywhere I go. Maybe most of you says the two things that you have to bring everywhere you go are smartphone and wallet.

Hello, ladies and gentleman. Today, I'm back in my blog. In this occasion, I would like to tell you about my favorite selfie and why i choose the photo. But first, I would like to tell you what is selfie. Surely most of you already know what is selfie, or maybe selfie has become a daily routine for you. Well, for those who have yet to figure it out, I will tell you a little bit about what is selfie. Selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a digital camera or camera phone held in the hand or supported by a selfie stick. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self-timer. A selfie stick can be used to position the camera farther away from the subject, allowing the camera to see more around them. I am the type of person that doesn't too often do selfie. I did selfie only when a moment of a specific moment that needs to be enshrined. Back to the initial topic, that this the second task is given. Let's check this out.
