VERBS Parts of speech
Verbs Verbs are words that express actions, events, or states of being. Example: "run," "jump," "think," "exist" In the realm of verbs, we find the vitality of actions like "run" and "jump," the contemplation of "think," and the mere existence captured in "exist." Each verb paints a vivid picture of movement, thought, or existence within the canvas of communication.
