Definition of Verbs
Verbs are words that express action, occurrence, or a state of being. They are crucial in forming sentences as they tell us what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject.
For example, in the sentence “She runs every morning,” “runs” is a verb that tells us the action the subject (She) is doing.
Verbs can also describe a state of being or existence; for instance, in “I am happy,” “am” is a verb indicating the subject’s (I) state of being.
There are many types of verbs, including action verbs (run, jump), linking verbs (am, is, are), and helping verbs (have, will, should), which work with main verbs to add detail or tense.
