A verb is a word that shows an action. It is important to choose the verb that fits with the subject and object in a sentence otherwise your English will not sound natural or you may not be able to make yourself understood.
For example it would be very strange for someone to say, "we is" instead of "we are", or "I need to make a break", instead of, "I need to take a break".
We can also change the form of verbs to show when an action happens.
She plays football - now and always
She played football - in the past
She is playing football - at the moment
She was playing football - she has stopped playing
