what  is  a  verb

Hi all,

 

@Vikaas, your friend Anamika has very well answered your query. I would like to elaborate the concept further with the help of a few examples:

 

A verb is a part of speech which conveys an action or a state of being. It is the most important aspect 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.

@Anamika, nice attempt to help your fellow student.

Best wishes!
