The Verb

A verb is a word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of being. It tells us what someone or something does, such as "run," "think," or "is." In sentences, verbs are essential because they connect the subject (who or what the sentence is about) with the action or condition. For example, in the sentence "She dances," "dances" is the verb that shows the action taken by the subject "she." Understanding verbs helps us grasp the meaning of sentences and how ideas are expressed in language.
