Here's why:
* Verbs describe actions or states of being. "Chew" describes the action of grinding food with your teeth.
* Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things, or ideas). They tell us more about the noun.
Examples:
* Verb: The dog chews on the bone.
* Adjective: That is a chewy candy bar.
In the second example, "chewy" is an adjective describing the noun "candy bar".
