Verb
A word class expressing actions, events, or states. Verbs are the head of verb phrases and can be modified by adverbs and auxiliaries.
Real World
In recruitment adverts, companies like Google use dynamic action verbs ('build', 'innovate', 'lead') to energise job descriptions, while stative verbs ('belong', 'thrive') create a sense of workplace wellbeing.
Exam Focus
Classify verbs as dynamic, stative, or relational and explain how each type shapes the text's pace or tone.
