how "languages based on verbs" work in general...
examples... Hebrew and some American Indian languages, Turkish?, Greek?
Yes, all languages HAVE them, but it seems that English is BASED on nouns, I guess.

Is it called a "real mode" language?

Verbs in some languages have perfective and imperfective. Some languages treat verbs of motion differently. Verbs can be differentiated by whether something is a repetitive action (I go to school every day), an action that is one-time-only-and-over (I am going to the store today, I went to the doctor yesterday), something that is continual (I live; I go to work), something that may describe something temporary or permanent (ser or estar in Spanish, for example)...English doesn't really have this distinction but I've seen it in Russian and in Spanish to a degree.
Arabic has three letter stems to form verbs and from those, nouns and other words get their origin. Georgian verbs are very difficult.

What are you asking??? What do you mean "languages based on verbs", are there any languages that don't have verbs? Can you be more clear?
