A labile verb is a verb that can be used in multiple forms or functions, allowing it to change meaning depending on its grammatical context. These verbs can act as both transitive and intransitive, meaning they can take a direct object or stand alone without one. For example, the verb "run" can be used transitively in the sentence "She runs a business," where it has a direct object, and intransitively in "He runs every morning," where it does not have a direct object. Labile verbs are important in language as they provide flexibility in expression, allowing for varied sentence structures and meanings.
