Answer 2

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'poor (adjective)' as 'having little money or few possessions, or lacking something important.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'poor (noun)' as 'poor people.'

Being poor is a state of being and not an action, so there is no verb form of poor. However, some compound expressions like "to become poor", "to become impoverished", "to make your way out of poverty" can be used to denote the action of becoming poor or the action of rising from poverty.
