Verbs

Words that express actions, states of being, or occurrences. They show what someone or something does (run, write), experiences (feel, hear), or is (be, become). Verbs change form to show tense (past, present, future), person (I, you, he/she/it), number (singular, plural), and mood (indicative, subjunctive, imperative).
