A verb is a kind of word ...

Verbs can show contrast in tense, aspect, voice, mood, person, and number. It is also the minimal element of the predicate of a sentence (Ex. He ran. Ran= both the verb and predicate). The verb also controls what type of elements a predicate has such as objects, complements, and adverbs.
