* Students are frequently taught that verbs are "action words" | |||
* However; the definition is misleading because verbs may indicate an action, but they may also indicate a state, condition, existence or occurrence | |||
** and not a clear "action" | |||
* The best way to think of a verb is that it is the core of a "predicate" and establishes the "idea" of the sentence (see "predicate") | |||
