Verbs

They are the action words that describe what the subject is doing. Verbs, like nouns, are the most significant portion of a sentence or phrase because they tell a story about what is happening.

State of being verbs, often known as connecting verbs, describe existing states or situations. Because no action is being taken, the state of being verbs are inactive. These verbs, which are versions of the word "to be," such as "am," "is," and "are," are generally accompanied by adjectives.

The past tense of "is" is "was."
