Are verbs in Vietnamese conjugated?
In Vietnamese, verbs are not conjugated based on the subject of the sentence. However, there are markers used to indicate verb tenses, aspects, and moods. The basic form of the verb remains the same regardless of the subject.
The word "flushing" when used like a noun, is more likely to be called a gerund, which is basically a verb ending in "ing" and functioning as a noun. For example:
"Gertrude gave the barrel a second flushing before dumping in the corn mash."
A modal helping noun is a term not commonly used in English grammar. Typically, modal verbs are used to express possibility, necessity, or ability, such as "can," "could," "must," etc. However, nouns do not typically perform this function in English grammar.

What is a short defintion for verb?
A verb denotes an action of any kind. An adverb modifies a verb.
You must walk slowly.
You needn't to drive fast.
Without an adverb it indicates a simple action : I am eating. The dog fights.
What to answer to how have you been?
In most situations, the person asking this is simply using a polite formality. Usually, something along the lines of "I've been well, thank-you. And yourself?" will suffice, even if you really haven't been that well.
Of course, you have to judge each situation on its own merits. If you are in the doctor's office and an assistant with a chart comes in, you should of course describe your health in detail. If it is someone you just pass by on the way to work everyday, you shouldn't go into any detail about your health. If it's something in between, you should make a judgment call as to whether they are genuinely asking for a recitation of your medical conditions or just being polite.
Incidentally, the proper response to "How do you do?" is always "How do you do?" It is not really a question.
Can a sentence contain both past tense and future tense verb?

What is the past perfect tense of the verb to plan?

Can you write a sentence with the word firstly as an adverb?

What are the tenses of verb hold?
