"Approximately" is an adverb, not a verb. As an adverb it can modify a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
A verb expresses action (such as "run") or a state of being (such as "is" or "seems").
Probably most often "approximately" modifies an adjective, as in the sentence "He's told me approximately ten times." "Ten" is an adjective modifying the noun "times"; "approximately" modifies "ten" (meaning maybe not exactly ten, but a number at least close to ten).
