⁣A verb is a word that indicates a physical action (e.g., “drive”), a mental action (e.g., “think”), or a state of being (e.g., “exist”). Every sentence contains a verb. Verbs are almost always used along with a noun or pronoun to describe what the noun or pronoun is doing. ⁣A tense is a form of the verb that allows you to express time. The tense of the verb tells us when an event or something existed or when a person did something.
