## Verbs

Verbs are words that describe the actions—or states of being—of people, animals, places, or

things. Verbs function as the root of what's called the predicate, which is required (along

with a subject) to form a complete sentence; therefore, every sentence must include at least

one verb. Verbs include action words like run, walk, write, or sing, as well as words

describing states of being, such as be, seem, feel, or sound.
