• Verb can be classified into two: action verbs and linking verbs.
• In my garage, there is an old car. _______________. It is a Cadillac, a very classical luxury car, manufactured in 1966. The car has 65.000 original miles on it, but sitting in a damp garage for most of its life didn’t do many favors for it.
A noun, a pronoun or an adjective that follows a linking verb is called a predictive, which points back to the subject to rename it, to identify it or to describe it further.
Predicates are verbs. A predicate is the doing or being part of the sentence, expressing the action or state of being of the subject. The predicate, often coming after the subject, is the semantic and grammatical center of a sentence.
• An action verb expresses an action, such as do, act, make, walk, take, break, react, write, see, say, buy, build and so on.
• A linking verb links/joins the subject of a sentence (often a noun or a pronoun) with a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that identifies or describes the subject. It does not show action, but express the existence or state of being of the subject.
There are eleven linking verbs which are most frequently used. We can briefly put them into three groups. • expressing judgment or change: be, get, turn, prove • indicating five senses of humans: look, feel, smell, tLeabharlann Baiduste, sound • some others, “GRABS”: grow, remain, appear, become, seem
• Subjects are nouns and other forms that can function as nouns, such as pronouns, clauses, infinitives and gerunds. A subject usually comes first in a sentence. It is the topic about which the speaker or writer is speaking or writing. For example,
• I bought a house for my parents.
• Some of the buried workers are still alive.
• The babies grew nervous from the loud noise.
A verb is often made up of more than one word. The verb that expresses the action or state of being of the subject is called main verb. The word that accompany the main verb is called an auxiliary/ helping verb, which helps the main verb express mood or time by forming various tenses.
1. There/Here be … Most frequently, a subject comes first in a sentence and usually goes before a predicate. However, sentences can be built so that the predicate comes before the subject. One way to make such a sentence is to begin a sentence with there or here. Notice the placement of subjects in the following examples. The subjects are underlined once and the predicates twice.
