  1. 1nA2/vɜːrb/動詞

    a word that shows an action, a state, or something that happens, such as run, be, or happen.

    示範例句 · Example

    'Run' is a verb because it tells us what the dog is doing.

    逐字「run」是一個動詞，因為它告訴我們這隻狗在做什麼。

    verb 是文法裡的「動詞」，用來說出「做了什麼」（例如 run、eat）、「是什麼狀態」（例如 be）或「發生了什麼事」（例如 happen）。英文句子幾乎都要有一個 verb，可以想成它是句子的心臟——沒有 verb，句子就不知道主詞到底在做什麼。verb 有不同的形式（例如 run、runs、ran、running），會跟著時間和主詞改變。

You can picture the engine word of a sentence — the one that says what is going on. Take it out and the sentence stops moving: 'Mei ___ the door' is not a sentence yet. Sometimes the engine is an action (run, open), sometimes it is just a state or something that happens (be, seem, happen), but it is always the word that puts the sentence into gear.

可以想成一個句子裡的引擎——負責說「發生了什麼」的那個字。把它抽掉，句子就不動了：Mei ___ the door 還不算一個句子。這台引擎有時候是一個動作（run、open），有時候只是一個狀態或一件事在發生（be、seem、happen），但它永遠是讓句子掛上檔的那個字。
