Here's why:
* Action verbs: Describe actions, both physical and mental. Examples: run, jump, think, write, eat.
* State of being verbs: Describe a condition or state of existence. Examples: be, seem, appear, feel, become.
While other parts of speech can describe actions or states of being, they do so in different ways:
* Nouns: Name people, places, things, or ideas (e.g., runner, jump, thought, writing, food).
* Adjectives: Describe qualities or characteristics (e.g., fast, high, deep, creative, delicious).
* Adverbs: Modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often describing how, when, where, or to what extent something is done (e.g., quickly, yesterday, here, very).
Only verbs are the core element of a sentence that express the action or state of being.
