definition: A verb is a kind of word in a sentence. Words like "walked," "jumped," "go," and "sing" are verbs. Verbs often describe actions, but words like "is," "are," "was," and "seem" are verbs too. Verbs can change form to tell people whether you are talking about something happening now or something in the past. When we say "I see," we are talking about something happening now, but when we say "I saw," we are talking about something that happened in the past.
Logan's teacher gave her class five sentences and asked them to find all the verbs.
derivation: verbless (adj.)
