Verb

Grammatical part of speech for what someone or something does, experiences, or is. Verbs are of crucial importance to the construction of the sentence. The rules governing the correct use and spelling of verbs are complex, involving consideration of number, voice, mood, aspect, and tense.

Verbs can be categorized as ‘main’ and auxiliary. A verb may be formed from a noun or an adjective by adding an affix (or prefix).

Sentence analysis involves a detailed study of verb forms, including infinitive, transitive, intransitive, modal, regular, and phrasal verbs.
