VERBS

· The verb signals an action, an occurrence, or a state of being. Whether mental, physical, or mechanical, verbs always express activity.

PHYSICAL VERBS

· Physical verbs are action verbs. They describe specific physical actions. If you can create a motion with your body or use a tool to complete an action, the word you use to describe it is most likely a physical verb.

· Let’s run to the corner and back.

· I hear the train coming.

· Call me when you’re finished with class.

MENTAL VERBS

· Mental verbs have meanings that are related to concepts such as discovering, understanding, thinking, or planning. In general, a mental verb refers to a cognitive state.

· I know the answer.

· She recognized me from across the room.

· Do you believe everything people tell you?

STATES OF BEING VERBS

Also known as linking verbs, state of being verbs describe conditions or situations that exist. State of being verbs are inactive since no action is being performed. These verbs are usually complemented by adjectives.

· I am a student.

· We are circus performers.

· The police is quiet.

TYPES OF VERBS

ACTION VERBS

ACTION VERBS ARE VERBS THAT EXPRESS ACTION

TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS

· This means that some are used with a direct object (the person or thing that receives the action of the subject) and others don’t need a direct object. Some verbs can be both transitive and intransitive depending on their meaning.

· Ex:

· Transitive Verb – Joe will send the price quote as soon as he can.

· Intransitive Verb – Many of the students are not well. They coughed throughout the lesson.

TRANSITIVE VERBS

TRANSITIVE VERBS ALWAYS RECEIVE A DIRECT OBJECT

· Here’s a list of some common transitive verbs that must be followed by a direct object:

bring send owe contain buy show take tell

verify check get wash finalize annoy lay lend

offer edit make phone

· 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)

· Jenna brings Mrs. Smith lunch every day.

(Lunch is the direct object of brings. Jenna is the subject.)

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).

Here is a list of common intransitive verbs:

Come explode laugh sit rise excel respond run

cough swim emigrate smile act cry immigrate lie

arrive continue die go

MANY VERBS CAN BE BOTH TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE DEPENDING ON THEIR MEANINGS.

· Jamie set the documents down on the CEO’s desk.

(Transitive: The documents are the direct object to the verb: set.)

· The sun set low over the Pacific Ocean.

(Intransitive: Low is an adverb. Set doesn’t need a direct object.)

· Ms. Tyson manages the accounting department.

(Transitive: The accounting department is the direct object to the verb: manage.)

· Here is a list of several verbs that can be both transitive and intransitive depending on their meanings:

Set leave give study sit manage stop go

Grow smell dance sing write climb run pay

Teach burn eat paint drive check cost improve

DECIDE WHETHER THE FOLLOWING VERBS ARE TRANSITIVE, INTRANSITIVE OR BOTH:

The workmen have been painting for hours.

When they call from the charity, Mrs. Alpert always gives generously.

Before you send the proposal, make sure you edit it carefully.

That perfume smells nice.

My new car costs me a small fortune.

AUXILIARY VERBS

USED TOGETHER WITH A MAIN VERB TO SHOW THE VERB’S TENSE OR TO FORM A NEGATIVE OR QUESTION. THE MOST COMMON AUXILIARY VERBS ARE HAVE, BE, AND DO.

EXAMPLES

· Does Sam write all his own reports?

· The secretaries haven’t written all the letters yet.

· Terry is writing an e-mail to a client at the moment.

HAVE

· Have” is a very important verb that can stand alone in all its tenses, including has, have, having, had, and hadn’t or had not. It is usually used to denote ownership, and it can also be used to discuss ability or describe appearance. “Have” is also a very popular substitute for the verbs “eat” and “drink.” For example: “Let’s have dinner.

EXAMPLES

· Jerry has a large coffee stain on his shirt. → Has = action verb

· Jerry has bought a new shirt to replace the one that was ruined earlier. → Has = auxiliary verb; bought is a past participle that competes the verb phrase.

· Jerry should have been more careful! → Have = auxiliary verb; phrase “should have been” expresses time and evaluates Jerry’s actions.

· “Do” can be used as an action verb that stands alone in all its tenses, including to do, do, does, done, did and didn’t, doesn’t or did not .

· When used as an auxiliary verb, do is always paired up with another verb to create a complete verb phrase.

EXAMPLES

· Because he spills things so often, Jerry does more laundry than most people.  Does = action verb

· Jerry didn’t put his coffee in a cup with a lid.  Didn’t = auxiliary verb

· Jerry doesn’t always spill things, but it happens a lot.  Doesn’t = auxiliary verb

· “Be” or “to be” is an important verb that has a multitude of uses in English. It can be used as an action verb that stands alone in all its tenses including be, to be, been, am, are, is, was, were, wasn’t, was not aren’t, are not, weren’t and were not.

· When used as an auxiliary verb, be is always paired with another verb to create a complete verb phrase. It can be singular or plural, present or past. Negative sentences are formed by adding the word “not”

EXAMPLES

· Jerry is messy.  Is = linking verb

· Although he is always complaining about his accidents, Jerry fails to pay attention.  is = auxiliary verb

· Jerry is doing extra laundry for the rest of his life.  is= auxiliary verb

EXERCISES

· What ________________ the kids doing when you last saw them? (was, were, are, did, been)

· Carla ________________ always wanted to try skydiving. (was, doesn’t, has, is, have)

· Where __________________ you go on your summer vacation? (were, been, are, did, does)
