Abstract
Verbs expressing natural phenomena form a distinct lexical category in English, encompassing words that describe meteorological, astronomical, and geological events. These verbs are essential for communicating about natural occurrences and their impact on human life.
This article examines the morphological and syntactic properties of these verbs, including their forms, inflections, derivational processes, transitivity, and sentence structure. By analyzing these linguistic aspects, we highlight their unique role in English grammar and how they reflect our perception of nature.
