Types of Verbs

Action Verbs

Linking Verbs

Helping Verbs

Slide5

Action Verbs

Action verbs are words that express action (e.g.

give, eat, walk

) or possession (have, own etc.)

Action Verbs can be either transitive or intransitive.

Slide6

Slide7

Transitive Verb

A transitive verb always has a noun that receives the action of the verb.

This noun is called the direct object.

Example:Laurissa

raises

her hand

(the verb is

raises

.

Her hand

is an object receiving the verb's action therefore,

raises

is a transitive verb.

Slide8

Intransitive Verb

An intransitive verb never has a direct or indirect object, although an intransitive verb may be followed by an adverb, there is no object to receive its action.

Example:

Laurissa

rises

slowly from her seat.

(the verb is the word

rises

. The words,

slowly from her seat

, modify the verb. but there is no object that receives the action)

Slide9

Transitive versus Intransitive

To determine whether a verb is transitive or intransitive, follow these two steps

:

EXAMPLE 1: Dustin will lay down his book. What is the action? will layEXAMPLE 2

: His book will lie there all day. What is the action? will lie

Slide10

Linking Verbs

A

linking verb

connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or describes it.

This noun

or adjective is called the

subject complement

.

EXAMPLE:

Jason

became

a business major.

(The verb,

became

,

links the subject,

Jason

, to its complement,

a business major

.)

Slide11

Linking Verbs

The most common linking verb is the verb

to be

in all of its forms (am,

are

,

is

,

was

,

were,

etc

.).

Two

other common linking verbs,

to become

and

to seem

,

are always

used as linking verbs

.

Libby

appeared

happy.

Appeared

links

Libby

to the subject complement,

happy

.

Slide12

Helping Verbs (Auxiliary)

Helping verbs

are used before action or linking verbs to convey additional information regarding aspects

of possibility (can, could, etc.) or time (was

,

did

,

has

, etc

. . )

EXAMPLES:

Teju

is

(helping verb)

going

(main verb) to Florida

.

The trip

might

(helping verb)

be

(main verb) dangerous.

Slide13

Auxiliary Verbs

The following words, called

modals

, always function as helping verbs:Can, may, must, shall, will, could, might, ought, to, should,

would

EXAMPLES

:

Tanya

could learn

to fly helicopters. (

Could

helps the main verb,

learn

.)

Janine

will drive

to Idaho tomorrow. (

Will

helps the main verb,

drive.

)

Slide14

Helping versus Linking

The

following forms of the verbs

to be, to do

,

and

to have

sometimes serve as helping verbs.

In

other cases, they may serve as action or linking verbs

.

Am, be, being, do, had, have, was, are, been, did, does, has, is, were
