Verbs are a necessary component of all sentences. A sentence is not complete without a verb and its subject. typically, verbs denote the action performed by the subject. For example:
- The clock ticks all day long.
“ticks” is an action verb here as the clock us the doer of the action. The clock does the action of ticking all day.
- The beggar sat down by the side of the road.
“sat down” is the action verb here and doer of this action is the subject of the sentence – “the beggar”.
At several occasions, verbs instead of presenting action of the subject simply connect the subject to some other additional information about the subject. In such cases they are called linking verbs. Click here to learn more about them.
