2. Verbs
The first verbs rule is very basic: every sentence must contain a verb, or action word. The second verbs rule is that the tense of the sentence comes from the verb itself. For example, the present-tense construction "is blowing" indicates an action happening right now -- the wind is blowing this minute. Conversely, the past tense "blew" indicates the wind blew in the past sometime, while "will blow" specifies a future action. The third verbs rule states that the verb and subject must agree, meaning a singular subject such as "wind" takes a singular form of the verb -- "blows" instead of the plural "blow."
