List of adjectives, synonyms, and related terms to describe the beach. Use the below list to find different terms pertaining to the beach. The list contains adjectives, synonyms, terminology, and other descriptive words related to the beach. Feel free to use this list to expand your vocabulary and be more descriptive! An adjective is inherently descriptive, it was born to describe. A noun used to describe another noun is called an attributive noun or a noun adjunct. A verb used to describe a noun is either a present participle or a past participle form. An adjective used to describe a noun is placed before a noun or follows a linking verb. A linking verb acts as an equal sign, the subject is or becomes.
Verbs are words that show action or state of being. There are three major categories of verbs.
1. Helping Verbs (Auxiliary Verbs)
2. Action Verbs
3. Linking Verbs
These do just what their name implies. They help the main verb in the sentence by telling us more about its tense and the subtleties of its meaning. The main verb will be either an action verb or a linking verb. You'll find more on those verbs below.
The helping verb(s) and the main verb come together to form a verb phrase. Here is a list of 24 common helping verbs. Use the list of verbs and this lovely song to memorize them. (Listen to me sing the song in the video!)
Action VerbsAs their name implies, action verbs show action. Keep in mind that action doesn't always mean movement
If you've checked out this site much, you know that I think sentence diagramming rules when it comes to teaching and learning grammar. Sentence diagramming is a way to visually show how all of the words in the sentence are related to each other.
All verbs are diagrammed on a horizontal line after the subject. A vertical line separates the subject from the verb, and the rest of the sentence depends on the type of verb you are diagramming. Let's look at the different kinds of action verbs!
1. Transitive ActiveCertain action verbs called transitive active verbs transfer action to something called a direct object.2. Transitive PassiveThis type of action verb transfers its action to the subject. Isn't that crazy?3. Intransitive CompleteList of VerbsYou can call these either linking verbs or intransitive linking verbs. |
Forms of be | be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being |
Other Linking Verbs | appear, become, feel, grow, look, seem, remain, smell, sound, stay, taste, turn |
When you diagram intransitive linking verbs, you can see that they link the subject of the sentence with a noun or an adjective.

Nouns are considered to be neutral inasmuch as any one of them could be potentially either good or bad. The nouns listed here have inherent 'normally good' qualities. They're good in absence of an external moral bias. The meanings of some of these nouns even become wholly negated with the imposition of an unnatural negative bias (ie. bad Optimist)
