Many English words have a verb form and a noun form. This can be confusing. The verb form and the noun form are sometimes pronounced differently, which can be even more confusing!
I wrote this blog post to help ESL students use these words with confidence.

Verb or Noun? – Grammar
Let’s start by answering a basic question. What’s the difference between a noun and a verb?
A noun is a person, place, or thing.
A verb expresses an action or existence.
“A dog is running in the park.” – A DOG (thing) is running (action) in the PARK (place).
A basic English sentence will have this pattern. Subject – Verb – Object. The subject and object in a sentence will be nouns. DOG (Subject) is running (Verb) in the PARK (Object).
How can I tell a noun from a verb?
The sentence example above is very basic. Natural English sentences will use clauses and conjunctions to tell longer stories in a single sentence. Here is a simple way to tell if a word is a noun or a verb in a longer sentence.
Nouns often follow an article (a, an, the) or the possessive form of a noun or pronoun. (my, his/her, its, John’s, etc.)
Verbs will follow a subject and be conjugated (changed into past, present, future, continuous tense, etc.)
Noun – Happy birthday! I bought you a present.
The noun present follows the article a.
Verb – They will present their findings tomorrow at the meeting.
The verb present follows a subject – “They” – and is conjugated in the future tense. – “will present“
If you know the correct form, you can use the correct pronunciation.
Are all verb and noun pairs pronounced differently?
One-syllable Verb and Noun pairs
Many noun and verb pairs have only one syllable so there is no change in word stress between the verb and the noun. They all sound the same with a few exceptions. (You can find the exceptions in the one-syllable verb and noun list at the bottom of this post.)
Example:
list
noun – a series of names, items, figures, etc., especially when they are written or printed
“I wrote a shopping list this morning.”
verb – to write a list of things in a particular order
“I listed everything I need for my trip.”
Two-syllable Verb and Noun pairs
When noun and verb pairs are two syllables we pronounce them correctly by focusing on the syllable stress. English 2-syllable nouns will put stress on the first syllable. CONduct.
2-syllable verbs will put stress on the second syllable. conDUCT.
Example:
conduct
noun – CONduct – a person’s behavior in a particular place or in a particular situation
“Our school has a strict code of conduct.”
verb – conDUCT – to organize and/or do a particular activity
“My university will conduct a survey on Friday.”
Three-syllable Verb and Noun pairs
There are a few cases where the verb and noun pair is three syllables and ends with the letters -ATE. For these examples, the sound of the last letters will change, not the stress. The stress will still be on the third syllable.
Example:
associate
noun – asso-she-IT ~ a person that you work with, do business with, or spend a lot of time with
“Peter is a business associate of my father.” (asso-she-IT)
verb – to spend time with someone, especially a person or people that someone else does not approve of
“I try not to associate with angry or negative people.” (asso-she-ATE)

In this post, I will also give you 36 noun/verb pair examples with over 70 natural example sentences. Each example sentence has audio to improve your English listening skills and pronunciation. You can quickly start using the correct word stress with noun/verb pairs.

If you have a word out of context and want to know its most common use, you could look at someone else’s frequency table (e.g. WordNet), or you can do your own counts: Just find a tagged corpus that’s large enough for your purposes, and count its instances. If you want to use a free corpus, the NLTK includes the Brown corpus (1 million words). The NLTK also provides methods for working with larger, non-free corpora (e.g, the British National Corpus).
import nltk
from nltk.corpus import brown
table = nltk.FreqDist(t for w, t in brown.tagged_words() if w.lower() == 'table')
print(table.most_common())
[('NN', 147), ('NN-TL', 50), ('VB', 1)]

Recently, I have received a number of questions about the word is. Is is a verb? Is it a preposition? Is it a noun? What exactly is its function in a sentence?
In this post, I will cover everything you need to know about this word and its function in the English sentence. After reading this article, you won’t ever again wonder to yourself, “Is the word is a verb?”
To see the various kinds of verbs in English, see here.
The State of Being Verbs
Is is a verb? Is is what is known as a state of being verb. State of being verbs do not express any specific activity or action but instead describe existence. The most common state of being verb is to be, along with its conjugations (is, am, are, was, were, being, been).
As we can see, is is a conjugation of the verb be. It takes the third person singular present form.
- I am. First person singular present.
- You are. Second person singular present.
- He is. Third person singular present.
It can take a bit of practice to spot state of being verbs because they aren’t action oriented and they are wildly irregular in their conjugations. By comparison, look at the verb hit.
- I hit the ball.
- You hit the ball.
- He hit the ball.
Look at how much easier that is than the verb be.
- I am.
- You are.
- He is.
Despite the confusing nature of the verb to be, it is incredibly important to understand how it works with all of its conjugations because it is probably the most common verb in the English language.
Think about how many times you say, I am hungry, I am happy, We are ready to go, etc. To be is a very popular verb that is used all of the time.
Don’t Verbs Describe Action?
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “I thought verbs described action.”
- John hit the ball.
- Suzy drives the car.
- She ran across the finish line.
These are all words that describe an action; they describe something that a person can do. I can drive the car. I can hit the ball.
So, how can is be a verb? What action is taking place?
Verbs describe more than just action: While it’s true that verbs can describe action, they can also describe existence or occurrence, where there might not be any action taking place.
As I said above, verbs can describe a state of being, or mere existence. There is no overt or positive action taking place when you say I am or He is.
These verbs are describing your mere existence, but they are verbs nonetheless.
Is as a Helping Verb
Is is a helping verb? The verb be and its conjugations, is, am, are, etc., are primary helping verbs. This means that they can stand alone in a statement, and they can be used as a helping verb. For example,
- He is.
This statement has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. In this example, is is the main verb.
But, if we look at another sentence, we can see that is can also be a helping verb.
- He is running a marathon.
- The All England Club also announced Tuesday that it is increasing spending to fight match-fixing and doping, although it provided no figures. –The New York Times
In this example, is is paired with the verb running and is working as a helping verb.
Is can be paired with all kinds of verbs to act as a helping verb.
- Is running.
- Is singing.
- Is laughing.
- Is writing.
For more information on helping verbs, see our full helping verbs page.
Summary: Is is a verb?
Is is a verb or a noun? Is it a preposition? In this post, we have learned that the word is a verb and functions solely as a verb to describe a state of being or existence.
- Is is a verb.
- Is can also be a helping verb.
