What is Verb?

"Verb" is an action word or a "doing" word that shows what a person, animal, or thing is doing. 

These are fundamental words that describe actions such as run, jump, sing, eat, read, and sleep.

Identifying verbs in a sentence:

To find the verb in a sentence, ask yourself: "What is the person, animal, or thing doing?" The answer will be the verb.
Example:

• Sentence: The cat sleeps on the mat.

• Question: What is the cat doing?

• Answer: The cat is sleeping.

• Verb: sleeps

How to use verbs in a sentence:

The verb usually comes right after the person or thing doing the action.
Examples:

1. The dog runs.
2. The boy sings a song.
3. We play football.
4. She eats an apple.
5. I read a book.
