The verb in a sentence typically tells us what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject. It conveys the action or state of being performed by the subject.

Does a verb tell you what the sentence says about the subject?

No. An adjective is more likely to do that. A verb is likely to tell you what the subject is doing (so, I suppose in a sense it's telling you something about the subject - but if I'd said 'yes' to your question you might have got the wrong idea).


How can you tell if the verb is singular or plural?

You can tell if a verb is singular or plural by looking at the subject of the sentence. If the subject is singular (e.g., "he," "she," "it"), the verb should also be singular (e.g., "runs," "sings"). If the subject is plural (e.g., "they," "we," "the dogs"), the verb should be plural (e.g., "run," "sing").
