☆ Opinion | Forget Nouns. Verbs Are Where the Action Is.

The verb “see” is “doe,” uttered with a high pitch. To put the verb into past tense, you say it with a low pitch.

And if you want to say the opposite, that you just looked something over quickly, you start high and then swoop low. Wait, wait!” This was perfectly ordinary speech, and it entailed four verbs and zero nouns or adjectives.
