* Verbs are action words: They describe what someone or something does, is, or has. They are the heart of a sentence, showing the connection between the subject and the object.
* Loneliness is a feeling: It's an emotional state, not a grammatical property.
How we might talk about loneliness in language:
* Verbs describing loneliness: We can use verbs to describe the *experience* of loneliness, such as "feel lonely", "be lonely", "long for company", or "miss someone".
* Metaphorical language: You might hear someone use figurative language to describe loneliness, like "My heart feels empty" or "I'm lost in a crowd".
Think of verbs as tools for describing actions and states of being. While loneliness is a feeling, verbs help us express and understand it!
