The verb in the sentence "Herb was very bored" is "was." It is a form of the verb "to be," which functions as a linking verb connecting the subject "Herb" to the adjective "bored." The word "bored" itself is not a verb in this context; it serves as a predicate adjective describing Herb's state.

The nouns in the sentence are:US (abbreviation for United States), the name of a place; object of the preposition 'in';cell phones, compound noun, a word for a thing(s); subject of the sentence;item, a word for a thing; subject complement following the linking verb 'are'.
There are not a lot of words to use instead of are, except other forms of "to be"--is, was, were. Normally you have to rewrite the sentence to find a more active verb. For example, my answer could be rewritten like this: Very few words exist that can replace are. Now the verbs in the sentence are "exist" and "replace." Sometimes it's difficult to avoid are, just like I did. I could rewrite the sentence again: Now I have used the verbs "exist" and "replace" instead of the "are." As long as you use mainly active verbs, an occasion are will not hurt your writing.
Sends and shiver are the verbs.

"Jacob was a very smart boy" is a complete sentence. It doesn't modify anything. Verbs are modified by adverbs, but that sentence doesn't contain an adverb modifying a verb. Adverbs also modify adjectives and other adverbs. That sentence does contain an adverb (very) that modifies an adjective (smart).
This is very imperative information. This is one of many examples for sentence use.
