'Verb' means - to do. The verb has great importance in every language sentence. Each sentence is completed by the verb itself. Action refers to the doing or being of an action. The performer of the verb is called 'doer'.
Ali is reading the book.
It is raining outside
The bomb exploded in the market.
The child fell from the bed.
In the above sentences Ali and the child are the doers and the action that is being done or done by them is the verb; Like - studying, fell down.
The verb is not performed in the other two sentences, but is spontaneous. Therefore, there is no master dominant in it.
The verb has so much importance in the sentence that even if the subject or other adders are not used, the meaning of the sentence is clear only by the verb; like-
(1) Bring water.
(2) Sit quietly.
(3) Wait.
(4) Go.
So it can be said that,
The words that indicate the doing or being of a work are called actions.

hungry
