Hello champs!
Verbs are widely thought to have been invented by the Romans in 1066 because they were tired of drawing pictures of what they had done, were in the process of doing, or were about to do at some future point. Veni vidi vici.

Description of a Conjunctive Verb
To understand the conjunctive verb and how it works, you must first understand the two components that comprise it: verbs and conjunctions.
It can get confusing. Remember that "actions" aren't just words like "run" or "read." Action in English is not just referring to visibly physical activity, but also to the state of "being." If you are being something, then you are doing something. Hence, a verb is appropriate.
Examples of Conjunctive Verbs

So, let's test this rascal out.
"Hello John. What did you yesterday?"
"Oh hello, not much. I was supermarketing"
"What's this fresh approach to English John, I don't like it."
"It's verbs. Yesterday, I supermarketed. Next Saturday, I will be supermarketing."
"That's not even how conjunctive verbs work John."
"Rock n roll, deal with it."
So GD, scholars every one, what say you to adjectivising verbs?
