Verbs For Class 4

Definition: A verb is a word that showcases the occurrence of a particular task or conveys a state of being.

We will understand verbs with the help of an example:-

  • Ms.Sharma is teaching the class in the morning.

What does Ms.Sharma do in the morning? She teaches the class in the morning. The action that she is doing is “teaching“ the class. So, the action that is denoted to her is “teaching”. Hence, the verb that is here is “teaching”.

Let us understand another example:-

  • Suman writes a letter to her aunt who is living in the US.

The verb that is used here is “writes”. Because it is denoting an action.

Similarly, we will look at a few more examples:–

  1. Swara is dancing at the party.
  2. Kids are playing in the park.
  3. Mother is cooking in the kitchen.
  4. Sahil is writing notes.
  5. Disha is studying physics.

We can see the action words in the above sentences are: dancing, playing, cooking, writing, and studying.
