What is a verb? Verbs are words that show an action (sing), occurrence (develop), or state of
being (exist). Almost every sentence requires a verb. The basic form of a verb is known as its
infinitive. The forms call, love, break, and go are all infinitives.

What is the definition of a verb? A verb is a word that indicates a physical action (e.g.,
“drive”), a mental action (e.g., “think”), or a state of being (e.g., “exist”). Every sentence contains a
verb. Verbs are almost always used along with a noun or pronoun to describe what the noun or
pronoun is doing.

A verb is the action or state of being in a sentence. Verbs can be expressed in different
tenses, depending on when the action is being performed. Here are some examples: Example:
Jennifer walked to the store. In this sentence, walked is the verb that shows an action.

Verbs can be generally classified into three main categories with reference to what they
signify, such as verbs referring to actions, verbs referring to experiences or feelings and verbs
referring to a state or condition. Furthermore, it can be classified into auxiliary verbs (otherwise
called helping verbs), modal verbs, phrasal verbs and linking verbs.

Verbs that take a direct object alone are called transitive verbs, and those verbs that do not
take either a direct object or an indirect object are called intransitive verbs. There is yet another
category of verbs that take both the direct object and the indirect object, and they are called
ditransitive verbs.

A verb shows the action (read, walk, run, learn), or state of being (is, am, are, were) in the
sentence. Identify the verb by asking what is happening in this sentence? For example: We ran to the
store

Verbs have several characteristics: form, tense, person, number, voice, and mood. Some
verbs can stand alone in sentence; other verbs are helping verbs.
