6. 6 Transitive Verbs Express an action directed toward a person, a place, a thing, or an idea (a.k.a., nouns) The action passes from the doer (the subject) to the receiver of the action. The words that receive the action of transitive verbs  direct objects  always nouns Transitive verbs can only be action verbs. Linking verbs are NEVER transitive.

7. 7 Transitive Verbs: Examples Derrick greeted the visitors. Derrick greeted whom? The action ( greeted ) passes from the subject (Derrick) to the object (visitors). When will Felicia paint her room? Felicia will paint what? The action ( will paint ) passes from the subject (Felicia) to the object (room).

8. 8 Intransitive Verbs Express action or tell something about the subject without the action passing to a receiver, or object Intransitive verbs may be either action or linking verbs.

9. 9 Intransitive Verbs: Examples The train stopped . The train stopped what? There is nothing in the sentence to say what the train stopped (i.e., there is no object). There is no transfer of action. Last night we ate on the patio. We ate what? There is nothing in the sentence to say what we ate (i.e., there is no object). We did not eat some “on the patio.” This is a prepositional phrase telling where we ate, not what . There is no transfer of action.

10. 10 Let’s Practice : The children play checkers . ( Transitive / Intransitive) The children play quietly . (Transitive / Intransitive ) Mr. Lopez is baking bread . ( Transitive / Intransitive) Mr . Lopez is baking this afternoon . (Transitive / Intransitive ) Have Roland and Tracy left their coats ? ( Transitive / Intransitive) Have Roland and Tracy left yet ?

15. 15 Irregular Verb A verb that does not follow the usual rules for verb forms Verbs in English are irregular if they don't have a conventional - ed ending (like asked or ended ) Example:1. Throughout my career I swam for form. Speed came as a result.

16. 16 Difference between Regular & Irregular Verbs Those verbs that form their past participle with ‘d ’ or ‘ ed ’ are regular verbs.

19. 19 Finite Verb Verbs which have the past or the present form are called FINITE verbs If there is just one verb in a sentence, it is finite. Finite verbs are sometimes called tensed verbs . Examples of Finite Verb 1.Drive a car. [1st person, singular, present tense] 2. He drives a car. [3rd person, singular. present tense ]

20. 20 Infinite Verb Verbs in any other form (infinitive, - ing or - ed ) are called Infinite Verbs.

23. 23 Auxiliary Verbs Also called helping verbs. They have no meaning on their own. They are necessary for the grammatical structure of a sentence, but they do not tell us very much alone. We usually use helping verbs with main verbs . They "help" the main verb (which has the real meaning). There are only about 15 helping verbs in English, and we divide them into two basic groups: Primary helping verbs (3 verbs). These are the verbs be, do, and have. Note that we can use these three verbs as helping verbs or as main verbs.

24. 24 Primary Auxiliary Verbs Uses of “be ” Simple Questions We create simple yes/no questions by inverting the order of subject and the “To be” verb. Is your brother taller than you? Were they embarrassed by the comedian? The same inversion takes place when “To be” is combined with verbs in the progressive: Is it snowing in the mountains? Were your children driving home this weekend?

25. 25 In progressive tense sentences made with ‘be’, we always use the ‘- ing ’ suffixed version of the main verb. She is baking a cake today. She was baking a cake yesterday. She has been baking a cake today Let’s Practice using ‘Be’

26. 26 ______ you want tea ? (Do / Does) He _______ given his all. (have / has) She _______ the boss . (have / is) Exercise on Auxiliary Verbs

27. 27 Stative Verbs A stative verb is one that describes a state of being, in contrast to a dynamic verb which describes an action. The difference can be categorized by saying that stative verbs are static or unchanging throughout their entire duration, whereas dynamic verbs describe a process that changes over time. Many languages distinguish between these two types in terms of how they can be used grammatically.

28. 28 Some Stative Verbs like know belong love please fit hate suppose contain need understand seem agree remember matter own appear sound hear astonish deny satisfy promise surprise

29. 29 Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic: Be be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means ‘behaving’ or ‘acting’  you are stupid = it’s part of your personality  you are being stupid = only now, not usually Think  think (stative) = have an opinion I think that coffee is great  think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head what are you thinking about? I’m thinking about my next holiday Have  have (stative) = own I have a car  have (dynamic) = part of an expression I’m having a party / a picnic / a bath / a good time / a break Examples

30. 30 A.-Put the verb into the correct form. Use either the present simple or the present continuous. 1. Please don't make so much noise. I __________________ (study). 2.

32. 32 Modal Verbs A modal verb (also modal, modal auxiliary verb, modal auxiliary) is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to indicate modality – that is, likelihood, ability, permission, and obligation.

33. 33 Meaning of Modal Verbs Two typical sequences of evolution of modal meanings are: Internal mental ability → internal ability → root possibility (internal or external ability) → permission and epistemic possibility obligation → probability
