What is a verb?
Something you do?
Action Verbs
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
Verbs
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.
Action Verbs
Exercise 1, even independently
When you and your partner are finished, compare answers.
Practice!
A transitive verb has a direct object.
Intransitive verbs do not.
Transitive and Intransitive Verbs
A direct what?
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.
Don’t worry.
Looks like what word? If you think...
Transitive
Look at Exercise 3 on page 404
On page 404, do the odd numbered sentences. Write transitive or intransitive.
Practice!
These are the nouns that follow the verb.
Questions to help you tell the difference
Direct and Indirect Objects
Direct Object answers WHO? or WHAT?
The word in the sentence that answers these questions is the direct object.
Quick intro to Direct and Indirect Objects...
Ex.
The student plays the flute.
The student plays WHO or WHAT? The flute.
Flute is the Direct Object
Direct Objects
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.
Indirect Objects
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.
Indirect Objects
Let’s go through sentences 1-10 together.
Turn to page 406
Write the direct object and indirect object (if there is one) #11-20

LINKING VERBS
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.
THE dreaded Linking Verb
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.
Jerry was part of the Penn State Football Program.
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.
Part or linked to subject noun
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.
Predicate Nouns and Predicate Adjectives
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
Action vs Linking
