  1. THE VERB AND ITS CLASSIFICATION • Generic Competency: • Express ideas using English and Spanish in both spoken • and written communication effectively. • Specific Competency: • Recognize different types of verbs in English and their • characteristics. • Use different types of verbs to communicate in real-life • situations effectively. • Prepared by: Mrs. Itzel López How are they grouped? What ARE verbS?

  2. Learning Objective of the Lesson Discriminate the different types of verbs to use them effectively in both oral and written communication

  3. What are Verbs? Verbs are sometimes described as action words.This is partly true. Many verbs give the idea of action, of "doing" something. For example: run, fight, do and work convey action. But some verbs do not give the idea of action. They give the idea of existence, of state, of "being". For example: be, exist, seem and belong convey state.

  4. More about English Verbs… • The term verb is from the Latin verbum meaning word: although it is the word of a sentence. A thought cannot be expressed without a verb. • For example: • The child plays football very well. • The child X football very well. • Sentences are in the form of declarations, questions or commands and none of these can be put before the mind without the use of a verb. • For example: • Did your sister buy fruits? • Did your sister X fruits?

  5. What are SomeCharacteristics of Verbs? • A verb always has a subject. In the sentence "John speaks English", John is the subject and speaks is the verb. Therefore, we can say that verbs are words that tell us what a subject does or is; they describe: • action (Ram plays football.) • state (Anthony seems kind.) • There is something very special about verbs in English. Most other words (adjectives, adverbs, etc) do not change in form. But almost all verbs change in form. For example, the verb to work has five forms: • to work, work, works, worked, working

  6. Task 1 Identifying Verbs Read the following article about the benefits of smiling and prepare a list of the verbs you find. Then, write your own examples with each verb found. 1. Smiling Makes Us Attractive We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away, but a smile draws them in (avoid these smile aging habits to keep your smile looking great). 2. Smiling Changes Our Mood Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

  10. HelpingVerbs and MainVerbs • Sometimes a simple predicate is made up of two or more verbs. The main verb is the most important verb in the predicate. It comes last in a group of verbs. For example: • He is working in the garden. • He has planted some tomatoes. • A helping verb can work with the main verb to tell about an action. The helping verb always comes before the main verb. These words are often used as helping verbs: am, is, are, was, were, has, have, had, and will. • He is working in the garden. • He has planted some tomatoes.

  11. Task 3 HelpingVerbs and MainVerbs 10 points Choose the correct form of the verb in ( ) to complete each sentence. Write the word in the sentence. Then, write main verb or helping verb. 1. Inez has ___ Greek legends to children for many years. (tell, told, telling) 2. The children were ___ forward to the next story. (look, looked, looking) 3. I shall ____the children the legend of Narcissus. (tell, told, telling) 4. Narcissus ____hunting one day. (shall, have, was) 5. He had ___ over a mountain pool for a drink. (lean, leaned, leaning)

  12. Transitive and IntransitiveVerbs • Transitive verbs always take objects. You will always be able to ask a question beginning with 'What' or 'Whom'. • Examples: • I paid the bill last week. - What did you pay? • She studies Russian. - What does she study? • Intransitive verbs do not take direct objects. • Examples: • Peter's situation improved. • They slept peacefully. • You can recognize that a verb is intransitive because it does not have a passive form.

  13. Task 4 Transitive and Intransitive Verbs 12 points Determine if the verbs in the following sentences are transitive or intransitive. If transitive, indicate the object of the verb. • 1.
