you missed any of the discussion today, don’t fret just yet for I have just

RECOGNIZING VERBS
(Miguel, Revilla, & Barraquio, 2010)
(Miguel, Revilla, & Barraquio, 2010)
KEY CONCEPTS
A verb shows action,
links another word to the subject, helps another verb, or merely indicates
existence.
Sometimes the verb is a
single word; other times, the verb is made up of two or more words called a
verb phrase.
A verb phrase consists
of a main verb plus one or more helping verbs. Sometimes a verb phrase is interrupted by other words. Be careful
to locate all the helping verbs that go with the main verb.

KINDS
OF VERBS ACCORDING TO USE
Action verbs are either
transitive or intransitive. Non-action verbs are called linking (copulative)
verbs or helping (auxiliary) verbs according to their use in sentences.
- A transitive verb expresses an action which passes from the subject to a direct object of when the subject is acted upon. It needs a receiver of the action or a direct object.
A gland produces a fluid that the
body needs to work properly. (The direct object is fluid receives the action of the verb produces)
·
An intransitive verb
does not need an object or receiver of its action.
People snore when soft tissues in
the throat collapse during deep sleep. (The verb snore does not pass its action to any word in the sentence.)
·
A linking verb is a non-action
word that connects the subject to a word in the predicate. The word linked to
the subject may be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that identifies or
describes the subject.
Most metals are chemically reactive. (The
verb are links the adjective reactive to the subject metals. The word reactive describes the subject metals
and is a predicative adjective).
Many iron ores such as magnetic are oxides.
(The verb are links the noun oxides to the subject ores. The word oxides identifies ores and
is a predicative nominative.)
·
Below are the most
commonly used linking verbs.
am were taste look grow
is be feel appear remain
are being smell become stay
