  30. Reflexive Pronouns A reflexive pronoun reflects back to a noun or pronoun already mentioned in the sentence. For example, “Pioneers organized themselves.”

  40. Lets look at the types first…

  41. Action Verb Tells the action a subject is performing. John (subject) runs (action verb).

  42. Some action verbs also show mental action or ownership/possesion. Mental action: I (subject) study (action verb). Ownership/Possession: She (subject) has (action verb) cats.

  43. Helping/Auxiliary Verbs Helping verbs are found in verb phrases. A verb phrase includes a main verb and one or more helping verbs.

  44. The helping verb comes before the main verb. For example—The whales will (helping verb) have (helping verb) migrated (action verb). A verb phrase may be interrupted by other words—For example: The students (subject) could (helping verb) certainly learn (action verb) more about the sea.

  50. Intransitive verbs express action about the subject, but does not pass the action to a receiver.
