Here’s a simple breakdown of verb, adverb, and adjective:

1. Verb

A verb is an action word that describes what someone or something does or a state of being.

  • Action verbs: Show physical or mental actions.
    • Examples: run, eat, think, write
    • Sentence: She runs every morning.
  • Linking verbs: Connect the subject to a description.
    • Examples: is, are, seem, become
    • Sentence: He is tired.

2. Adverb

An adverb describes or modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It often answers how, when, where, or to what extent.

  • Examples: quickly, very, yesterday, here
  • Sentence: He ran quickly. (Modifies the verb ran)
  • Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all (e.g., fast, well).

3. Adjective

An adjective describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It answers what kind, which one, or how many.

  • Examples: beautiful, three, red, happy
  • Sentence: She has a beautiful dress. (Describes the noun dress)

A verb is a part of speech that expresses an action, an occurrence, or a state of being. In English, verbs are the words that tell us what someone or something does or is.
