A verb can do all three. eg The boy plays footballThe boy is a good player The boy has a red shirt And there are other possibilities too: "John, you clean up that mess!" The verb is still the verb, even in John never does what he is told. "Will Margaret help me with my math homework?" Margaret is not acting, the verb isn't saying anything about what Margaret is, and it says nothing about what Margaret has.
