  1. Types of Verbs 1- Transitive verbs. Mono-transitive Di-Transitive 2- Intransitive verbs 3-Linking verbs.

  2. 1-Transtive verbs: The meaning of this verb is incomplete without an object. The action or event involves another person or thing which is the object. Example: Sara bought. (meaning is incomplete) Sara bought a bag. (meaning is complete)

  3. A-Mono-transtive verbs: This particular type of transitive verbs takes one object only. Examples: He wants an apple. The boy throws the ball.

  4. B-Di-transtive verbs: This type of verbs takes two objects. 1-The direct object: relates to the verb and is affected by the action of the verb. 2-The indirect object: indicates the person who benefits from an action or receives something as a result. These di-transitive verbs include: ( teach-ask-pay-refuse-deny-offer-promise-tell-show-give-lend-buy)

  5. Indirect Objects usually occur with a Direct Object, and they always come before the Direct Object. The typical pattern is: Subject -- Verb -- Indirect Object -- Direct Object Examples: *He gave her the letter. ('The letter' is the direct object, what he gave, and 'her' is the indirect object, the person he gave it to.) *I showed my friend the ring. *Tell me a story.

  6. 2- Intransitive verbs: They can’t take a direct object. Only the subject(doer of the action) and the verb ( the action) are mentioned. Examples: • She arrived to the party late. • My friend’s dog died yesterday. * To determine whether a verb is intransitive ask yourself whether the action is done in some way, in some direction or to some degree. Does a noun receive the action of the verb? If it does, then the verb is transitive and the person or thing that receives its action is the direct object.

  7. An intransitive verb can be followed by: 1- a prepositional phrase. It begins with a preposition : preposition + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause Examples: - At home. Prep. Noun -with me. (pronoun) • By singing. (gerund) - About what we need. (clause)

  8. Examples: - The man tripped over his own feet. • The students laughed at the monkey on a scooter. 2- An adverb: Adverbs typically add information about time (rarely, frequently, tomorrow), manner (slowly, quickly, easily), or place (here, there, everywhere) in addition to a wide range of other meanings. Example: -He arrived late. -Sara came quickly.

  9. 3- Adverbial particles: Sometimes prepositions (such as: about ,before, down…) work as adverbs. It is used especially after a verb to show position, direction of movement. Examples: • We should move on. • Sara fell down.

  10. 3- Linking verbs: -Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject. -linking verbs are either verbs of sensation ("feel," "look," "smell," "sound," "taste") or verbs of existence ("act," "appear," "be," "become," "continue," "grow," "prove," "remain," "seem," "sit," "stand," "turn").

  11. -Subject complement: A subject complement is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that follows a linking verb. Examples: -Ben is a policeman. (noun) -The strongest swimmer was he. (pronoun) -That pie smells delicious. (adj.)
