Verb

A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes an action or a state of being. An action is simple. That's like running or jumping or falling. I do that all that time along with eating. A state of being is well, it's like this: I exist. "Exist" is a verb, but there's no action there. I don't have to hop on my head, though I do that quite often, to exist. I exist because, well, I'm here. I hop on my head, because, well, I'm here.
