In the sentence "The car stops at the corner," "stops" is a verb — the simple present, third-person singular form of "to stop" (shows the car's action).
Brief checks:
- It follows the subject "The car" and expresses an action → verb.
- Change person/number: "I stop," "they stop," "she stops" — same verb pattern.
(As a note, "stops" can be a noun in other sentences, e.g. "There are many bus stops on this route," but not in your example.)
