A verb is the engine of a sentence. Without a verb, there is no sentence. Verbs express actions, events, and states of being.
A verb is a word that expresses an action, an event, or a state of being. Every complete sentence must contain a verb.
Examples
Action: She runs every morning.
Event: The storm struck the coast.
State: He seems tired.
Being: They are students.
