What is Verb? The Definition of Verb.

 

VERB

The verb follows the subject in a declarative sentence; it generally shows the action of the sentence.

NOTE: Every sentence must have a verb. The verb may be a single word.

John drives too fast.

They hate spinach.

The verb may be a verb phrase. A verb phrase consists of one or more auxiliaries and one main verb. The auxiliaries always precede the main verb.

John is going to Miami tomorrow.

Here (auxiliary—is; main verb going)

Jane has been reading that book.

Here (auxiliaries-has, been; main verb_reading)

Examples of verbs and verb phrases:
