Here's a breakdown of what verbs do:
* Show action: "The dog ran across the yard." ("ran" is the verb showing the dog's action)
* Describe a state of being: "She is happy." ("is" is the verb describing her state of being)
* Express a thought or feeling: "He thinks about his future." ("thinks" is the verb expressing his mental action)
Key things to remember about verbs:
* Every sentence needs at least one verb.
* Verbs can be in different tenses (past, present, future) to show when the action happened.
* Verbs can change form depending on the subject (I walk, you walk, he walks).
Examples:
* Action: The children played in the park.
* State of being: The sky is blue.
* Thought/Feeling: She worries about the test.
