Verbs

Verbs are words that show action. They tell us what people, animals and
things are, what they have, and what they do.

For example–

Kiran’s mother is a teacher. (what the doer is)
m
I was happy to see my grandmother. (what the doer feels and does)
m

I wrote one letter this morning. (what the doer does)
m
I screamed when I saw the lizard. (what the doer says and does)

Verbs change form according to the number of nouns they tell us about.

For example– ?
My sister teaches in the school. (Singular noun)
They teach in the school. (Plural noun)
?
