You need verbs because you need to tell others what you or something else is doing.

Example: Bob ran to the supermarket.

How else would Bob have gotten to the supermarket? Bob doesn't randomly appear at the supermarket, and suddenly poof back to his house, so a verb (notice the bolded word) is needed to tell others how Bob got to the supermarket.

What are the semantic classes of English verbs?

Verb semantic classes are then constructed from verbs, modulo exceptions, which undergo a certain number of alternations. From this classification, a set of verb semantic classes is organized. We have, for example, the classes of verbs of putting, which include Put verbs, Funnel Verbs, Verbs of putting in a specified direction, Pour verbs, Coil verbs, etc. Other sets of classes include Verbs of removing, Verbs of Carrying and Sending, Verbs of Throwing, Hold and Keep verbs, Verbs of contact by impact, Image creation verbs, Verbs of creation and transformation, Verbs with predicative complements, Verbs of perception, Verbs of desire, Verbs of communication, Verbs of social interaction, etc. As can be noticed, these classes only partially overlap with the classification adopted in WordNet. This is not surprising since the classification criteria are very different.


What is a relative verb?

Relating verbs are those verbs that indicate the relationship that exists between two things. Relating verbs are either part of the verb 'to be' - am, is, are, was, were, be, being been; or part of the verb 'to have' - have, has, had. There are relative and absolute verbs and they define the property of the verb. For example; to break,to repair or to pay (relative verbs) need additional information in order to make sense. ie. break the cup, repair the car or pay the bill. To walk, to sleep or to live would be absolut verbs.
