Is the word across a verb?

The word "across" is not a verb. It is a preposition.

Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They often indicate location, direction, or time.

Here are some examples of "across" used as a preposition:

* The cat walked across the keyboard. (shows direction)

* We met across the street. (shows location)

* The meeting was scheduled across the weekend. (shows time)

To make "across" a verb, you would need to add a helping verb, like "go" or "walk". For example:

* We crossed the street.

* The cat crossed the keyboard.
