Does every definition of a verb have to begin with to in it's explanation?
The reason that "to" appears in the definition of verbs is that normally a verb is defined in its infinitive form, and that form is usually preceded by "to". For example: "Be": "To exist". If the form of the verb that you were describing was not an infinitive, then you would not have to have an infinitive as the definition. For example: "Being": "existing". "Is: "exists". Normally however verbs are defined in the infinitive because it is considered the most "basic" form of the verb.
