Verbs are
one of the major
grammatical
groups, and all
sentences
must contain one.
Verbs refer to an
action (do, break, walk, etc.) or a
state (be, like, own).
The verb
tense
shows the time of the action or state.
Aspect
shows whether the action or state is completed
or not.
Voice
is used to show relationships between the action
and the people affected by it.
Mood
shows the attitude of the speaker about the
verb, whether it is a declaration or an order.
Verbs can be affected by
person
and
number
to show agreement with the
subject.
