VERBS

Here we go with Verbs with Ms. Darlene! According to her, Verbs are words that expresses time while showing actions. She talked about Action verbs, Linking verbs, Intransitive verbs and Transitive verbs.

Action verbs

Action Verbs are verbs that express action by someone or something.

Example: run, walk, do, drive.

Linking verbs

Linking verbs connect the subject with a word that gives information about the subject, such as a condition or relationship.The most common linking verbs are forms of the verb to be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been. Linking verbs are also called Be verbs.

Intransitive verbs

Intransitive verbs do not need a direct object in order to complete their meaning. Many are followed by an adjective, adverb, preposition or verb complement (gerund or infinitive).

Example:

If Cathy continues to be late for work, the boss will fire her.
(Continues is followed by an infinitive (to be), with no direct object.)

Transitive verbs

Transitive verbs always receive a direct object

Example.Richard annoys his boss so much that he’ll never get a promotion.
(His boss is the direct object of annoys and a promotion is the direct object of get)
