A verb shows action or describes a state of being.

Every sentence needs a verb to be complete.

Examples: run, jump, think, is, are, become.

Verbs can be action, linking, or helping verbs.

Tense changes a verb to show when something happens.

Present, past, and future are the three main tenses.

Regular verbs add -ed for the past (e.g., walk → walked).

Irregular verbs change in unique ways (e.g., go → went).

Helping verbs work with main verbs (e.g., has gone, will eat).

Understanding verbs helps improve writing and speaking clearly.
