Verbs express actions states or occurrences forming the core of most sentences. Action verbs like run jump or eat show what a subject does while linking verbs such as be or seem connect subjects to descriptions. Verbs can be transitive requiring an object or intransitive standing alone. Tenses and aspects reveal when and how an action happens for example simple present or past perfect. Irregular verbs may change forms unexpectedly like go went gone. Verbs also shift form for subject-verb agreement. Effective verb usage adds clarity pacing and depth to communication helping convey intention events and conditions.
