Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. Along with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place. In English, verbs are the only kind of word that changes to show past, present, or future time. Let's dive into the world of verbs, understand their types, and learn how to use them in sentences.

== What are Verbs? ==
Verbs are words that express action or state of being. They are essential to the construction of a sentence because they provide information about what the subject is doing or how the subject is. For example, in the sentence "She sings," "sings" is the verb that tells what she is doing.

== Types of Verbs ==
There are several types of verbs, each serving a different role in a sentence:

=== Action Verbs ===
Action verbs express physical or mental actions that a subject performs. These can be visible actions (e.g., run, jump) or mental actions (e.g., think, believe).
{{o}} [[Running|Run]]: She runs every morning.
{{o}} [[Believing|Believe]]: I believe you.

=== Linking Verbs ===
Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which is usually a noun or adjective that describes or identifies the subject. Common linking verbs include "to be" verbs (am, is, are, was, were) and sensory verbs (seem, become, appear).
{{o}} [[Is|Is]]: He is a teacher.
{{o}} [[Seems|Seem]]: The task seems easy.

=== Auxiliary (Helping) Verbs ===
Auxiliary verbs are used together with a main verb to show the verb's tense, mood, or voice. The most common auxiliary verbs are "to be," "to have," and "to do."
{{o}} [[Has been|Has]]: She has been studying.
{{o}} [[Do like|Do]]: Do you like pizza?

=== Modal Verbs ===
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that express necessity, possibility, permission, or ability. Common modal verbs include can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would.
{{o}} [[Can swim|Can]]: He can swim.
{{o}} [[Should arrive|Should]]: You should arrive by 10.
