Present Tenses and Verbs in English Language
The present tense is a grammatical tense that locates a situation or event in present time.

This linguistic definition refers to a concept that indicates a feature of the meaning of a verb. However, in discussions of specific languages, the term “present tense” is often used to refer to a particular grammatical form that, depending on the language, may frequently be used to express the present nature of an action or, in some cases, may be used to express non-present action.In English, present tense form may be used to express action in the present, a current state of being, an occurrence in the future, or an action that started in the past and continues.

A verb is a word used as a predicate, to say something to or about some person or thing. In giving a definition, we consider a verb as one word.
In the sentence, “Put money in the purse,” put is the predicate, with some word understood; as, “Put thou money in the purse.”
The term verb is from the Latin verbum meaning word: hence it is the word of a sentence. A thought cannot be expressed without a verb. When the child cries, “Apple!” it means, See the apple! or I have an apple! In the mariner’s shout, “A sail!” the meaning is, “Yonder is a sail!”
Sentences are in the form of declarations, questions, or commands; and none of these can be put before the mind without the use of a verb. The verb may not always be a single word. On account of the lack of inflections, verb phrases are very frequent. Hence the verb may consist of: One word; as, “The young man obeyed.”
