IS THE VERB ALWAYS

i always shower

No. Writeacher told you that "always" is NEVER a verb. It's an adverb.

Which of the other two words in the sentence shows action?

No. Sorry. The verb is shower, because showering is an action. Always just describes how much the speaker is showering. Hope this helped.

Peace.

No, the verb is not always. In the sentence "I always shower," "always" is an adverb that describes the frequency of the action (showering). The verb in this sentence is "shower."

To determine the verb in a sentence, you can ask yourself the question, "What is the action being performed?" In this case, the action being performed is the act of showering. Therefore, "shower" is the verb.
