the VERB is need
The verb of motivation is motivate.Other verbs are motivates, motivating and motivated.Some example sentences are:"I will motivate my class"."She motivates her students to try harder"."I like motivating people"."He feels motivated".
The word "try" can be both a verb and a noun. As a verb, it means to attempt or make an effort to do something. As a noun, it refers to an attempt or effort made to accomplish something.
In this sentence, the verb is "had thought" ("had" is a helping verb here, showing the past perfect, or pluperfect, tense). "Thought" is the past participle of the verb "to think."
"Harder" is an adjective. "Harder" modifies the gerundive phrase "Raking leaves" if one is willing to consider the phrase "turned out to be" as a four word composite verb. Alternatively, "harder" could be considered to be an adjective complement to the infinitive "to be". Interestingly, "harder" itself is modified by both a simple adverb, "much", and an adverbial subordinate clause," than the children had previously thought".
That is a harder question than it seems. As a verb of posession, i.e. "he/she/it has something", the verb used would be "tener". The third person singular present form "has" would be "tiene". "Él tiene algo". As part of a compound verb, i.e. "he/she/it has done something", the verb used is "haber". In this case, "Él ha hecho algo".
The word could've is a contraction, a shortened form for could have.The contraction could've functions as a verb (or auxiliary verb).The auxiliary verb could have is used to express a possibility in the past.Example:I could have passed the exam If I had worked harder.Or:I could've passed the exam if I had worked harder.
The past participle of regular verbs is formed by (verb)+ed.Try is a regular verb. The past participle of try is tried."If only you had tried harder, I'm sure you would have scored 100%."----------------------------------------------------(See Related links below)

C. gerund phrase ("working harder")
Yes, the word 'descending' functions as a gerund, the present participle of a verb that functions as a noun in a sentence.The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective.Examples:Climbing the tree was fun but descending was harder. (noun, subject of the second half of the compound sentence)She was descending the stairs like a princess in her gown. (verb)She lined up the students in descending order of height. (adjective)The other noun forms for the verb to descend are descendant and descent.
A "doing" verb or "action" verb is one that initiates an action, as opposed to "helping" or "passive" verbs. Examples include "to run," "to sit," "to eat," as opposed to "to be," "to have," or "to like." An easy way to tell the difference is by asking yourself to perform the action. Can you, right now, run, sit, or eat? Certainly! But you'd have a harder time telling someone "Be. Right now. Go ahead, be!"
