What is a verb? Something you do?
3
An action verb is a word that names an action. Action verbs may be more than one word. They express physical and mental actions. Ex. Shout flash, memorize, think, praise, appreciate
4
HAVE, HAS, HAD Are also action verbs when they name what the subject owns or holds The coach has the roster for the game. This classroom had a swimming pool, but it was removed because of budget cuts.
5
Exercise 1, evenindependently When you and your partner are finished, compare answers.
6
A transitive verb has a direct object. Intransitive verbs do not.
7
A direct what?
8
In order to tell the difference, say the verb and ask WHO? Or WHAT? Ex. The actor remembered lines from the play. The actor remembered WHAT? If you can answer the question with part of the sentence, it is transitive.
9
Looks like what word? If you think...
11
On page 404, do the odd numbered sentences. Write transitive or intransitive.
12
These are the nouns that follow the verb. Questions to help you tell the difference
13
Direct Object answers WHO? or WHAT? The word in the sentence that answers these questions is the direct object.
14
Ex. The student plays the flute. The student plays WHO or WHAT? The flute. Flute is the Direct Object
15
GREAT NEWS: you can only have an indirect object if you have a direct object. Indirect objects answer the questions TO WHOM? Or FOR WHOM? Ex. Students brought the teacher an apple.
16
Ex. Students brought the teacher an apple. Find the Direct object: Brought what? An apple. Brought an apple for or to whom? The teacher. Teacher is the indirect object.
17
Let’s go through sentences 1- 10 together.
18
Write the direct object and indirect object (if there is one) #11-20
19
WRITE THESE DOWN: Is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been, become, seem, appear, look, grow, turn, taste, feel, smell, sound
20
A linking verb connects (links) the subject with a noun or adjective (describing word) in the predicate. Ex. Jerry was part of the Penn State Football Program.
21
Was is the verb. Jerry is connected to what word? PART! The difference is that the describer (noun or adjective) cannot be removed from the subject; it is part of it.
22
The milk was sour. The milk turned sour. The milk carton turned somersaults. He grew tired of the game. He grew horns when he became angry.
23
If you have a linking verb, the word your subject is connected to is either a predicate noun or adjective. I was tired. I was a teacher. Bob seemed weary. Bob is a builder.
24
Look at the verb. Does it answer “WHAT or WHO”? Or perform an action? Yes? = Action NO? = Linking Is it part of the subject noun? = Linking
