what is verb what is verb

Dear student,

A verb is a part of speech which conveys an action or a state of being. It is one of the the most important aspects to frame a meaningful sentence. It asserts something about the subject of the sentence. Here are a few examples for you to understand better:

- Please add two spoons of sugar in my tea;

- Do not allow him to watch television for more than 2 hours;

- The thief escaped the prison last night;

- The sweeper gathered all the dry leaves;

- The child could well imagine the sunset;

- He could not promise his son anything;

- They stayed in that mansion for 5 years;

- We were talking when the phone rang.

The words in bold describe verbs or action words.
