Serial verb

A serial verb is when two or more verbs are used together in a sentence without any extra words in between them. Think of it like putting two action words together to show what's happening. For example, instead of saying "I ran and then jumped," you could say "I run-jumped."

Serial verbs are often used in some languages, like some African languages, but are not as common in English. They can help to simplify a sentence and make it easier to understand. So next time you hear someone use two verbs together without any extra words, they might be using a serial verb!
