Verb
A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. It is an essential part of speech in a sentence and helps to convey the meaning of the action taking place.
Types of Verbs
There are several types of verbs:
- Action Verbs: These verbs express physical or mental actions. Example: run, eat, think
- Linking Verbs: These verbs connect the subject of the sentence to a subject complement. Example: is, am, are
- Helping Verbs: These verbs come before the main verb and help to express the tense, mood, or voice of the main verb. Example: have, will, can
Verb Tenses
Verbs also have different tenses to indicate the time of an action or state of being:
- Present Tense: Indicates an action happening now. Example: I walk to school.
- Past Tense: Indicates an action that has already happened. Example: She danced at the party.
- Future Tense: Indicates an action that will happen in the future. Example: They will sing at the concert.
