They tell us what people or things do.<\/strong> Learning common verbs is the first step to speaking English about your daily life. These words help you describe your actions, your routines, and what you do every day. For example, you use verbs to say <span data-no-translation>I live in Madrid<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>I work in an office<\/span>, oder <span data-no-translation>I study English<\/span>. In this lesson, we will learn eight very important A1 verbs: <span data-no-translation>live<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>work<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>study<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>speak<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>go<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>teach<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>play<\/span>, and <span data-no-translation>meet<\/span>. These verbs are perfect for talking about yourself and your daily activities.<\/div>\n<h2>What are Verbs?<\/h2>\n<p>Verbs are words that show an action or a state. They are very important in every sentence.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Think of verbs as the &#8216;doing&#8217; words.<\/li>\n<li>For example, in <span data-no-translation>I eat an apple<\/span>, the verb is <span data-no-translation>eat<\/span>. It shows an action.<\/li>\n<li>In <span data-no-translation>She is happy<\/span>, the verb is <span data-no-translation>is<\/span>. It shows a state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"lc-cta lc-cta-blended\" style=\"border-radius:14px;padding:30px;margin:30px 0;text-align:center;color:#fff;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0E63C4,#0A2540);\"><h3 style=\"color:#fff;font-size:22px;font-weight:800;margin:0 0 8px;\">\ud83c\udf93 Englisch lernen mit der Blended-Methode<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;opacity:.95;\">Kleingruppen \u00b7 KI-Tutor rund um die Uhr \u00b7 Vorbereitung auf die Cambridge-Pr\u00fcfungen<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:18px;\">Pl\u00e4ne von <strong><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">$<\/span>39<\/bdi><\/span><\/strong> <s style=\"opacity:.6;\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">$<\/span>79<\/bdi><\/span><\/s> pro Monat<\/p><a href=\"\/de\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;margin-top:8px;padding:13px 30px;border-radius:8px;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;background:#fff;color:#0E63C4;\">Buchen Sie Ihren Kurs<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Meet Your First English Verbs!<\/h2>\n<p>Here are eight common verbs that you can use to talk about your daily life.
