Here's why:
* Definition: "Expedite" means to make something happen faster or sooner than usual. It implies taking active steps to speed up a process.
* Usage: We use "expedite" in sentences where we are describing an action being taken, for example: "The manager expedited the order to ensure the customer received it on time."
* Form: Verbs typically have different forms (present tense, past tense, etc.) and can be used with auxiliaries like "will," "have," "can," etc. "Expedite" follows this pattern.
In contrast, nouns are words that name things, people, places, or ideas. Adjectives describe qualities. "Expedite" doesn't fit those descriptions.
