A verb is a word that represents an action. The following is a list of examples:

Run

Jumping

Swam

There are two kinds of verbs main verbs and auxiliary verbs.

Auxiliary verbs go before main verbs in verb phrases.

eg ask = main verb, have = auxiliary verb. I have asked them to stay.

Main verbs refer to states or actions.

eg state verbs = know, like, love, own. action verbs = run, walk, talk, write

Different verb forms tell us about past, presentor future time.

I live / I lived / I will live

Verbs can have a passive or active voice:

active = The cat chased the mouse. (here we know what did the action - chase)

passive = The mouse was chased. (here we don't know what did the action)
