Light verb

Okay kiddo, so have you ever picked up a heavy box and it was hard to carry? Well, sometimes when we use verbs like "carry" or "lift," we need a little bit of help from another word to make it easier. That's where a light verb comes in!

A light verb is like a helper word that comes before the main verb, kind of like a person helping you carry a heavy box. It helps give the verb more meaning and makes it easier to understand. For example, instead of saying "I carried the box," we could add a light verb like "give" to make it easier to understand, like "I gave a carry to the box."

Another example could be instead of saying "She danced," we could use a light verb like "do" to make it more specific and say "She did a dance."

So, light verbs help us to express more specific meanings in our sentences and make it easier to understand what we're trying to say.
