Verbs
Verbs are the second-most important words in English, next to nouns. (A sentence must have both a noun and a verb in order to be a proper sentence.) Verbs can describe physical actions like movement, less concrete actions like thinking and feeling, and that utterly awesome state of being, as explained by the verb to be:
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Who are you?
On top of all these, verbs can tell us when something is happening. English speakers depend on the verb tenses to give a temporal context (time) to the sentence.
