Notes with Verbs

A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. It serves as the backbone of a sentence, linking the subject to what is being said about it. They express actions, conditions, and relationships within sentences.

There are several types and functions of verbs:

• Action: express physical or mental actions; they convey what the subject is doing. Examples include think, run, jump, eat.
• Linking: connect the subject to additional information about it, often related to its state or condition. Examples: be (am, is, are), seem, become
• Auxiliary (helping): accompany main verbs to form different tenses, moods, or voices; they can indicate when an action takes place (past, present, future). Examples: have, will, can, is (like "is running").

Verbs are more important for statement or opinion notes, but relevant for thing notes that are described by nouns. They may be used to describe state changes associated with idea emergence, processing workflow, and some relationships. However, they are critical for constructing meaningful sentences with clarity and context.
