3. What are Verbs and Nouns?
A verb is a word that is used to describe an action, such as to fly or to run. It can also be used to indicate a state of existence, such as to live. A verb is a major part of a sentence.
A noun is a word that is used to describe a person, place, thing or idea. A noun is also one of the major parts of a sentence.
