A verb is a word that expresses an action, such as <em>run</em>, <em>eat</em>, <em>fly</em> or <em>rest</em>. However, a verb can also express other ideas. For example, it can express a condition, a mood, or simple existence. However, an element that a verb cannot express is "place." Place can only be expressed through the use of a noun, which is a word that names a place, person, thing or idea.
