Arabic events are strongly verb-based, but verbal nouns are also common in formal style.
سافرَ الرجلُ أمس.
The man traveled yesterday.

English events are centered on verbs, often supported by auxiliaries for tense, aspect, voice, or questions.
The children are playing.
are playing = event
Learners may omit auxiliaries or use dictionary verb forms in finite clauses.
