VERB, n. L. verbum, fero.
1. In grammar, a part of speech that expresses action, motion, being, suffering, or a request or command to do or forbear any thing. The verb affirms, declares, asks or commands as, I write he runs the river flows they sleep we see they are deceived depart go come write does he improve?
When the action expressed by a verb is exerted on an object, or terminates upon it, the act is considered as passing to that object, and the verb is called transitive as, I read Livy. When the act expressed by the verb, terminates in the agent or subject, the verb is called intransitive as, I run I walk, I sleep.
When the agent and object change places, and the agent is considered as the instrument by which the object is affected, the verb is called passive as, Goliath was slain by David.
2. A word.
