Verb:
* Definition: A word that describes an action, state, or occurrence.
* Function: Verbs are the backbone of a sentence, showing what is happening.
* Examples: *run*, *jump*, *sing*, *sleep*, *exist*
Onomatopoeia:
* Definition: Words that imitate the sound they represent.
* Function: Onomatopoeia adds vividness and sound effects to writing.

Here's how they differ in a sentence:
Sentence: The bird (noun) chirped (verb) tweet, tweet (onomatopoeia).
* "Chirped" is the verb; it describes the action the bird is doing.
* "Tweet, tweet" is the onomatopoeia; it imitates the sound the bird makes.
In essence:
* Verbs tell us what is happening.
* Onomatopoeia makes us hear what is happening.
