Verbs express actions, events, or states of being. There are three main types of verbs: action verbs that show physical or mental actions, verbs of being that describe a state of existence, and linking verbs that connect the subject to additional information about it. Verbs have different tenses including present, past, future, and infinitive form. The tense indicates whether the action occurred in the past, present or future.
