I know that many had difficulties in school of really understanding what it is about different styles of words like nouns and verbs and all other grammatical stuff.
Let us be simple and funny - it has to do with life in language. Generally, a language lives always by verbs. And nouns describe things, they are names of things while verbs describe actions of things.
And funny enough, thus verbs expose somehow the sense of nouns. The sense of a thing is in a verb.
What is the sense of life? The verb: living. Of love? Loving. Heidegger once tried to express this by saying, the world is worlding, and he is right...
Thus we are creatures of verbs while trying to find sense and meaning. The sense of light is shining and of mourning is weeping.
Anybody who has done some translational work knows how to crack a difficult text: look for the verbs and see their sequences, than you have understood most of the text.
Verbs are the natural given sense markers...
