The verb is the part of the sentence that expresses essence, state, action or passion, generally indicating the time and the person.
Thus, when we say I read or read, we mean that it is me or they who perform the action of reading in the present moment.
Similar considerations can be made if the action took place in the past (read, read, read, read) or if it is expected to occur in the future (I will read, we will read).
Verb , is a technical expression of the traditional grammar for a part of speech that expresses an activity , an event or a state, and words like walk , think , sail , walk, play are verbs.
The verb expresses not only the three temporal possibilities (present, past and future) but also indicates whether the action is finished or not.
The grammatical sentence requires the existence of a verb, expressed or tacit, which shows the fundamental role that this part of speech plays.
