Explanation:

• Verbs are words that represent what the subject is doing and the state of being and the occurrence of anything. Any sentence or phrase is incomplete without the verb. For example, even a smaller sentence “She dances” needs a verb.
• The types of a verb are action verb (stand, go, run, etc), transitive verb (respect, maintain, etc), intransitive verb (laugh, play, etc), auxiliary verb (do, would, can, etc), stative verb (doubt, want, etc), modal verb (should, would, etc), phrasal verb (bring out, make out, etc), and irregular verb (feel, redo, lay, etc).
• The forms of verbs describe at what point of time the action occurred. There are five forms of verbs; present participle (dancing, writing, drawing, etc), past, past participle, third-person singular (example, he dances), and root  (same as infinitive). The “ed” added in the past and past participle, for example, stacked, booked, etc.
