Verb
A verb is a term that denotes a mental or physical action, such as "think" or "drive," or a state of being, such as "exist." A verb is present in every sentence. When a noun or pronoun is used to describe what the noun or pronoun is doing, verbs are nearly always employed as well.

Linking verbs
A linking verb, for instance, is used in the statement The blanket is green to link the subject, the blanket, with the descriptive adjective green.

Subject + Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement means that the subject of the sentence fits the verb expressing its action. This makes your work easier to read and assists your reader in understanding who or what is doing in a particular way.
First, determine the subject (the thing or person performing the action) and the verb (the word that performs the action) in a sentence. The verb describing the subject's action should be single if the subject is. The verb must be multiple if the subject is.

| Be |
