♦Verb
A verb is a word that tells us what a person, animal or thing is doing. Verbs show action, so they are also called action words. Some verbs do not show action and indicate existence or state of being like appear, seem etc. Every sentence must have a verb.
क्रिया वह शब्द है जो यह बताता है की कर्ता (व्यक्ति, वस्तु या जानवर) क्या कर रहा है । जैसे – अभिनव सेब खा रहा है ( ‘खाना (Verb)’ क्रिया है जो बताती है कि अभिनव क्या कर रहा है) ।
Principal Verb- These are main verbs in a sentence. They can stand on their own. They are also called as lexical verbs. It is from the main verbs all other forms of verbs are derived…namely the infinitive, past, present and future tense. The main verb tells us about the action or state of the subject in a sentence.
