What is verb?

The base form is the simplest form of the verb, and it is used to indicate the present tense.
Definition

A verb is a word or phrase that describes an action, occurrence, or state of being. Verbs can be used to express physical or mental actions, and can also be used to indicate when something happens. For example, the verb "run" can be used to describe the physical act of running, or it can be used to describe the act of moving quickly. 

Types

There are three main types of verbs: 

  1. action verbs.
  2. linking verbs
  3. auxiliary verbs.

  1. Action verbs : 

             Action verbs are used to describe physical or mental actions. For example, the verb "run" can be used to describe the physical act of running, or it can be              used to describe the act of moving quickly. 

  1. Linking verbs : 

            Linking verbs are used to connect a subject to a description or to another noun or pronoun. For example, the verb "be" can be used to describe the state of             being, or it can be used to link a subject to an adjective. 

  1. Auxiliary verbs : 

          Auxiliary verbs are used to add functional or grammatical information to a sentence. For example, the auxiliary verb "do" can be used to create an emphatic           effect, or it can be used to indicate that an action is happening in the present moment. 

Examples

The following table illustrates the different types of verbs with examples:

  • Action verb:

The dog runs across the room.

  • Linking verb:

The dog is across the room.

  • Auxiliary verb:

The dog is doing laps around the room.

Conclusion

There are many different types of verbs, and they can be classified in a number of ways. The most common way to classify verbs is by conjugation. There are three conjugations of verbs in English: the base form, the past tense form, and the present participle form. The base form is the simplest form of the verb, and it is used to indicate the present tense.
