According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a verb is “a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence.”

In simpler terms, a verb shows what someone is doing (like run, read, eat) or what is happening (like is, seems, feels). Verbs are necessary for making complete sentences because they tell us what is happening, when it happens, and who is doing it. They can also change form depending on the tense, subject, and number.

Yes, there can be two main verbs in a sentence. For example,

  • Samiksha laughed and danced all night at the party.
  • He cooked dinner and washed the dishes.
  • Aradhna read the book and wrote a summary.

A verb is a word that shows an action or a state of being. It tells what the subject of a sentence is doing (like run, eat, write) or what is happening (like is, seems, feels). Verbs are one of the most important parts of a sentence because they give life to the subject.

Without verbs, we wouldn't know what is happening or what someone is doing in a sentence. They help us understand time, mood, and condition too.

Adverbs in English is a word that describes or modifies an adjective, a verb, another adverb, or maybe a whole sentence. Usually, Adverbs answer the questions such as when, where, how, to what extent, how much, etc. A few examples of Adverbs are:

  • The roads in my area are very steep
  • The election in Delhi is coming soon
  • They participated in the annual function happily
  • Yesterday, I went to the market
  • We will leave tomorrow for Bhutan
