A verb is not a word used to describe. A verb is a word for an action or a state of being.

Examples:

Athena was a Greek goddess. (form of the verb to be)

Athena won a contest against Poseidon. (a word for an action)

An adjective is a word used to describe a noun.

Examples:

The Parthenon in Athens was built to honor the wiseAthena.

The Athenians depicted the brave Athena with a helmet on her head.

  • The adjectives 'wise' and 'brave' are used to describe the noun Athena.
