Verbs are action words that describe what someone or something does.

Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas.

To identify verbs, look for words that show action or a state of being.

To find nouns, look for words that name people, places, things, or ideas.

Some common verbs include "write", "play", "run", "eat", and "sleep".

Some examples of nouns are "dog", "book", "tree", "city", and "love".

Verbs describe actions, while nouns name things. You can't perform a noun, and a noun doesn't describe an action.
