Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. Along with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place

Verbs carry action in sentences, as well as state of being and existence. In order to use them correctly, it is important for subjects and verbs to agree in number, so that a singular subject is paired with a singular verb and a plural subject with a plural verb. In addition, verb tenses need to match throughout a passage to make the most sense.
