Verbs can express actions or states and come in several types including action, linking, and auxiliary verbs. Action verbs are either transitive or intransitive depending on whether they take a direct object, while linking verbs connect the subject to additional information about it. Subject-verb agreement dictates that the verb must match the subject in number, with singular subjects taking singular verbs and plural subjects taking plural verbs.
