VERB
Verb is a word which serves to indicate the action
of the subject to events or circumstances
The verb is
maybe the most important part of the sentence. A verb or compound verb asserts
something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or
states of being. The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the
predicate of a sentence.
Type
Of Verb
Auxiliary
Verb
Auxiliary, or help verb, are used before infinitives
to add a different meaning,. For example, you use auxiliary verb to say :
v That
someone is able to do something
v That
someone is allowed to do something
v That
someone has to do something
The hellping verbs are can, could, would, should,
ought to, will, shall, may, might, and must
The primary auxiliaries are be, have, and do.
The modal auxiliaries include can, could, may, must, should, will, and would.
Lexical
Verb
Lexical Verbs
are basically the main verb in a sentence. They carry some kind of real-world
meaning and are sometimes actually known as the main verb:
·
You laughed.
·
I ran.
·
She danced in public.
·
He googled my question
to know the answer.
They are basically an open-class of
verbs; in other words, we can add new verbs to this class. In recent years
new additions to this class include:
·
She twerked in
public.
·
I googled my
answer.
So lexical verbs carry a
semantic meaning. The only verbs not classed as lexical are auxiliary verbs, be, do, should, can,
etc. These auxiliary verbs have a grammatical meaning (they talk about
modality, voice, etc).
Using
Lexical Verbs
1.
Simple tenses use only a lexical
verb:
{subject}
+ {lexical verb}
·
I run.
·
I walked.
·
I laughed.
·
I tried.
2.
Continuous or Perfect tenses
use an auxiliary verb and a lexical verb.
{subject} + {auxiliary
verb } + {lexical verb}
·
I had run.
·
I was walking.
In other words, a lexical verb can sit on its own but an
auxiliary verb requires a lexical verb for it to make sense:
·
She will in
the garden.
·
She will sit
in the garden.
Dynamic
verb and stative verb
Definition of dynamic verb is a verb to assert that
the subject was doing the activity, process or a short duration of action is
going on.
Example : eat, play, call, drink, listen, work.
Definition of stative verb is verb that express
emotion or condition (or inclined) to change, or can be interpreted abstract
verb
Example : love, like, mean, feel, desire, see smell,
know, hear, taste.
A
regular verb and An irregular verb
A regular verb
: forms its past tense and past participle by adding -d or -ed (or in
some cases -t)
Example :
Have you studied yet ?
We always check our assignment before we put it on the teacher's table
My mom cooks a deliciuos food for us
We always check our assignment before we put it on the teacher's table
My mom cooks a deliciuos food for us
An irregular
verb (also known as a strong verb)
doesn't form the past tense by adding -d
or -ed:
Example :
I go to bed when i feel so sleepy
I'll run away from you all
Doctor said that we must eat a healty food
I'll run away from you all
Doctor said that we must eat a healty food
Transitive
and Intransitive
Transitive verbs are action verbs that have an
object to receive that action. In the first sentence above, the direct object
ball received the action of the
verb hit.
Example:
I baked some cookies.
I rode the bicycle.
I moved the chair.
I stitched a quilt.
Intransitive verbs are action verbs
but unlike transitive verbs, they do not have an object receiving the action.
Notice there are no words after the verb sang.
More
examples of intransitive verbs:
I laughed.
I cried.
The book fell.
The horse galloped.
The sun set.
Predicating
of Linking Verb
In traditional grammars and guide books, the term linking verb is used to
refer to verbs that describe the subject by connecting it to a predicate adjective
or predicate noun (collective known as subject complements). Unlike the majority of verbs, they do not describe any
direct action taken or controlled by the subject.
The
following verbs are true linking verbs :
any
form of the verb be [am, is, are, was, were, has been, are being, might have been,
etc.], become, and seem.
These true linking verbs are always linking verbs.
Then
you have a list of verbs that can be linking or action: appear, feel, grow,
look, prove, remain, smell, sound, taste, and turn. If you can substitute any of the verbs on this
second list with an equal sign [=] and the
sentence still makes sense, the verb is almost always linking.
Read these examples:
·
Brandon is a gifted athlete.
Brandon = subject; is = linking verb; athlete = noun as subject complement.
·
It was he
who caught the winning touchdown Friday night.
It =
subject; was = linking verb; he = pronoun as subject complement.
·
Brandon becomes embarrassed when people compliment his skill.
Brandon = subject; becomes = linking verb; embarrassed = adjective as subject complement.
·
Brandon's face will turn red.
Face =
subject; will turn = linking verb; red = adjective as subject complement. [Will turn is linking because if you substitute this verb
with an equal sign, the sentence still makes sense.]Don't mistake a subject complement for a direct object.
Only linking verbs can have subject complements. If the verb is action, then the word that answers the question what? or who? after the subject + verb is a direct object.
·
When Michelle woke up this
morning, she felt sick.
