When learning the rules of grammar, schoolchildren are often taught that verbs are ‘doing’ words, meaning they signify the part of the sentence which explains the action taking place: He ran away, she eats chocolate cake on Sundays, the horses gallop across the fields. Actually, a verb can be a sentence by itself, with the subject, in most case you, implied, such as, Sing! and Drive! In fact, without a verb, full thoughts can’t be properly conveyed, and even the simplest sentences, such as Maria sings, have one. Along with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place. Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing.
