VERBS

Verbs are one of the basic parts of speech in English grammar. A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. Verbs are often described as "doing" or "action" words because they describe an action that someone or something is performing. However, not all verbs necessarily describe a physical action - some verbs can describe a mental action, state of being, or an occurrence. Examples of verbs include "run," "sing," "think," "is," and "appear."

Note: Verb forms may vary depending on the subject and verb tense, such as adding -s or -es to the base form in the third person singular present tense (e.g. He plays tennis) or changing the past participle form for irregular verbs (e.g. swim-swam-swum).
