    According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a verb is “a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence.”

    In simpler terms, a verb shows what someone is doing (like run, read, eat) or what is happening (like is, seems, feels). Verbs are necessary for making complete sentences because they tell us what is happening, when it happens, and who is doing it. They can also change form depending on the tense, subject, and number.
