</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 7</span><div class="page_container" data-page="7">While all verbs express action or describe a state of being, there are not just two types of verbs. Explore six key verb types to further expand your knowledge of this all-important part of speech.1. Action Verbs
Most verbs are action verbs. As the name indicates, these verbs describe actions. They describe things a person can do or demonstrate. For example, when you're playing Simon Says, Simon can ask you to do things like hop, skip, pat your head, or make a pair of moccasins. There are many examples of action verbs.
to accept – The request is accepted.to ask – He asked to lend money.
Action verbs can be either transitive or intransitive.2. Transitive Verbs
Sounds technical and tricky, right? Fear not. Transitive verbs simply express an action. Seems onpar with what a verb is, right? The only thing to note with this category of verbs is that they're always followed by a direct object, which is someone or something that's receiving the action of the verb. With transitive verbs, an object is required.
Sentences with transitive verbs follow the pattern subject, verb, direct object. In the examples below, the subject is underlined, the transitive verb is bold, and the direct object is italicized.Ex:
Jean bought a beautiful dress.Harry want to be hero.
</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 8</span><div class="page_container" data-page="8">Intransitive verbs are also verbs that show action. Unlike transitive verbs, they are ones that are not followed by a direct object. Nothing is receiving the action of the verb. Instead, the action is being performed by the subject of the sentence.
The plane lands at 5 o'clock.I arrived at the coffee shop.My dog lies by the couch.Together, we sat on the stone wall.We went to the coffee shop.
Some verbs can be either transitive or intransitive; the type depends on how the verb is used in a sentence.
4. Linking Verbs
Linking verbs do not express action. Rather, they connect the subject to the additional information that's about to come. In other words, they link the subject to details about the subject. Various forms of the verb "to be" are linking verbs, including verbs like "am," "is," "are," and "were." There are many additional examples of linking verbs.
Damien is an expert craftsman.I am Jennifer.
The car was here.
We were exhausted after the trip.
Some words (such as smell, look or appear) can be used as linking verbs or action verbs. With these words, it's important to consider the function the verb is performing in the sentence in orderto identify the type.
5. Helping Verbs
Helping verbs do exactly what it seems like they should do. They help. That is, they help the main verb of the sentence by extending its meaning. They are used in cases where the linking
</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 9</span><div class="page_container" data-page="9">the helping verb is bold and italicized, while the linking verb is bold only.I have been there before.
I am walking to the store.We are reading the book together.He will run for president.6. Stative Verbs
Stative verbs are more difficult to identify as verbs. They describe a position or state of being; they have no duration, no beginning and no end. They're more intangible than action verbs. While they don't perform any action, notice that they're typically followed by a direct object, which is italicized in the examples below.
You deserve a prize.Jane dislikes humidity.She hates eating contests.Henry loves billiards.
<i>II, Verb phrases</i>
In traditional grammar, a <i>verb phrase</i> (often abbreviated as <i>VP</i>) is a word group that includes a main verb and its auxiliaries helping verbs ( ). Also called a <i>verbal phrase</i>. If there is only an auxiliary verb, it is VP deletion.
In generative grammar, a <i>verb phrase</i> is a complete predicate: that is, a lexical verb and all the words governed by that verb except a subject.
Verbal phrases include infinitive phrases participial phrases, and gerund phrases. Definitions and examples of these verbal phrases include:
<b>infinitive phrases – These phrases start with an </b>infinitive plus a simple form of a verb. They canact like a noun, adjective or adverb.
</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 10</span><div class="page_container" data-page="10">“wanted,” so it is acting like a noun.)
<b>participial phrases – This phrase will act as an adjective and begins with a participle. A </b>
participle is an adjective that has been made from a verb, like “talked” or “swimming.”Example: We have to replace the window broken by the hail. (The phrase modifies the noun "window", so it is functioning like an adjective. “Have to replace” is the verb phrase.)
<b>gerund phrases – These phrases act like a noun and start with a verb ending with an "ing". They</b>
can be subjects or objects. Example:
Lying to the IRS is never a good idea. (The phrase acts as the subject in this sentence)Other example of verb phrases:
The author is writing a new book.The dog might eat the cake.He was walking to work today.We got married after college.
Like all phrases, verb phrases express an idea but cannot stand alone as a sentence. They can alsoinclude modifiers, complements, and direct or indirect objects as complete verb phrases.
