I need help with the word "worth".
Can "worth" be used as a verb?

Thanks

No, it can't. One test for whether a word can be used as a verb is whether it is possible to conjugate it. For example, if 'worth' were a verb, it would be possible to say something like "Last year, I was worthed a million dollars." However, this is ungrammatical. The proper sentence would be "Last year, I was worth a million dollars." 'Worth' may only be used as a noun or an adjective.
