The word 'benefits' is both a verb and a noun.

  • The verb 'benefits' is the third person, singular, present of the verb to benefit, meaning to receive an advantage, a profit, or a gain.
  • The noun 'benefits' is the plural form of the noun 'benefit', a word for an advantage or profit gained from something; a word for an entertainment or social event used to raise funds; a word for a thing.

Example uses:

The economy of the region benefits from its natural beauty. (verb)

The pay is equivalent but the benefits are better at this job. (noun)
