Regular expression to match "verb" but not the "verb" in "adverb" : <p>How might I specify a regular expression in Python 3 such that it matches occurences of the word "verb" only outside of words that contain it?</p>

<p>For example in the sentence: "The man ADVERB VERB and VERB until he was ready."</p>

<p>The regular expression would match the two occurences of the pure word "VERB", but not the occurence of "VERB" in the word "ADVERB".</p>
