Paraphrasing is an important aspect of any competitive exam. In the exam, the questions from paraphrasing are asked to help candidates understand reading comprehension, essay writing, and even summarization tasks. It shows language fluency and ensures you can express the same ideas differently which is an essential skill in exams.

Linking verbs connect the subject to more information about the subject. They do not show action but tell us what something is or how it feels. Example: Shruti is happy. ("is" links "shruti" to "happy")

Helping verbs (also called auxiliary verbs) are used with main verbs to show tense, voice, or mood. They help form questions, negatives, and other verb tenses. Example: She is running fast. ("is" helps the verb "running")

Verbs are divided into different types based on how they function in a sentence. Here are the 11 important types of verbs you should know:

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.
