WHAT IS A VERB?
This is an English question -- not a math question.
A verb is a word that shows action or a state of being.
To understand what a verb is, we can break it down into two parts: action and state of being.
1. Action: A verb can show an action, which means it indicates something that someone or something does. For example:
- "Run" is a verb that shows an action. "She runs in the park."
- "Jump" is a verb that shows an action. "They jump over the fence."
2. State of being: A verb can also show a state of being, which means it indicates a situation or condition. For example:
- "Is" is a verb that shows a state of being. "She is kind."
- "Become" is a verb that shows a state of being. "They become happy."
To find examples of verbs in a sentence, you can look for words that show action or indicate a state of being. In most sentences, the verbs can be found by asking the question "What is happening?" or "What is being described?"
Remember that verbs are an essential part of constructing sentences in English, as they convey actions and states of being.
