The A '''verb''' is the most important part of the [[sentence]]. A verb a word or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and words that express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the [[predicate]] of a sentence. In each of the following sentences, the verb or compound verb is italicized:

Forms of "to be", such as "is", "are", etc. are also verbsof a particular type, called copulas, which define states of being (Jesus is the perfect teacher. Mary is Jesus' mother.) Some languages, such as Russian, do not use copulas.

Many languages inflect verbs to indicate such categories as person, number, tense, [[aspect (grammar)|aspect]], mood, and [[voice]]. In those languages, the The set of all forms of a verb is called its ''conjugation''. English inflects for number and tense. God ''loves'' us; but we ''love'' God. God ''created'' the Heavens and the Earth; but He creates things daily. ==Compound verbs==The most simple compound verb are verbs with the "helper" verb of "has" and "to be".I ''am going''. He ''had been going''.In English, compound verbs generally mark space in time, telling us what actions in a sentence happen in relation to other actions. "I had been reading the Bible, when I decided to change my life". "had been" tells us what the subject (I) was doing, when I acted "decided" to change.
