Verb is used to do the action. It describes what the subject of a sentence is doing. Besides it can indicate (physical or mental) actions, occurrences, and states of being. Almost every sentence requires a verb, or else nothing happens!
Classification of Verb:

Finite Verb is a verb which shows action of particular time or moment. Above all, it is a verb that has a subject and shows tense.
Example:
- He lives in Dubai.
- They went to the station.
Example:
- He is a player.
- We have many problems.
Principal Verb are two types
- Transitive Verb

Transitive Verb:
It is an action which requires one or more objects to receive the action.

- He taught me.
Intransitive Verb:
It is an action which does not require one or more objects to receive the action.
Example:
- She likes.
- The sun set.
b. Auxiliary Verb: It is used to help to the main verb in the sentence.
Example: am, is, are, was, were, may, might etc.
- He is playing football.

2. Non Finite Verb

Example:
- They enjoy shopping.
- Sailing is my favorite sport.
- He wants to get a good job.
- We try to buy the tickets.
b. Participle: It acts as an Adjective in the sentence.
Example:
- I saw a running bus.

c. Gerund:
It acts as a noun form and uses as subjects or objects in the sentence.

Overall, verb means to bring something to an end, to reach a decision or opinion after considering all the relevant information, or to finish something. They are essential for constructing sentences and conveying actions or states.
