An action (like run, jump, eat),
A movement (like fly, swim, hop),
Or something that we do with our body, mind, or feelings (like think, laugh, sleep).

In writing, verbs help us:

Build clear sentences

Add detail and interest

We also need to match the verb to the subject and tense correctly.

* Examples:

“He writes in his journal every night.”

Past Tense (already happened)

“They visited the museum yesterday.”

Future Tense (will happen)

“I will travel to the city next week.”
