What is the verb form of adjective

There isn't a single, direct verb form for every adjective. It depends on the specific adjective and what you want to express. Here are some ways to turn adjectives into verb forms:

1. Using "-ify" or "-ize" suffixes:

* Beautiful (adj.) -> Beautify (verb)

* Modern (adj.) -> Modernize (verb)

* Simple (adj.) -> Simplify (verb)

2. Using a verb related to the adjective:

* Happy (adj.) -> To make happy (verb)

* Sad (adj.) -> To make sad (verb)

* Strong (adj.) -> To strengthen (verb)

3. Using "to be" + adjective:

* Red (adj.) -> To be red (verb)

* Cold (adj.) -> To be cold (verb)

* Quiet (adj.) -> To be quiet (verb)

4. Using "to become" + adjective:

* Blue (adj.) -> To become blue (verb)

* Heavy (adj.) -> To become heavy (verb)

* Clear (adj.) -> To become clear (verb)

5. Using a phrasal verb:

* Clean (adj.) -> To clean up (verb)

* Slow (adj.) -> To slow down (verb)

* Open (adj.) -> To open up (verb)

It's important to consider the context and meaning you want to convey when choosing the verb form for an adjective.
