Every sentence MUST have a verb. 2.1. Action Verbs Action verbs tell WHAT the subject DOES. The action CAN BE VISIBLE (jump, kiss, laugh) or MENTAL (think, learn, study, believe).

Ex: - The cat [broke] Sue's flower pot. - Jim [studies] English well. ...- We [believe] that we will be good at English. An action verb can be transitive or intransitive. 2.1.1.

Action: If you want to become a successful person in the future, you have to study hard now. Hi, let take a look at LESSON 03 to learn about 'Linking verbs' 2.2. Linking Verbs Linking verbs join the subject and the predicate. They DO NOT SHOW ACTION. ...Instead, they help the words at the end of the sentence name or describe the subject. The most common linking verbs include: [be, feel, grow, seem, smell, remain, appear, sound, stay, look, taste, turn, become.] Look for forms of to be, such as am, are, is, was, were, am being, can be, have been, and so on. Ex: - The meal [tastes] delicious. - Your idea [sounds] interesting. - The manager [was] happy about the job change. - He [is] a good worker. NOTE: Many linking verbs can also be used as action verbs. Linking: The kids looked sad. Action: I looked for the dog in the pouring rain. Quick Tip: To determine whether a verb is being used as a linking verb or an action verb, substitute am, are, or is for the verb. If it makes sense, the original verb is a linking verb. -------Let practice this part, everyone! I'm hungry. - She looks more and more beautiful. -I saw the rain getting hard.' is correct. But, there is no linking verb. -She seems to be really interested in learning how to drive. - I have been waiting for you [for (over) 2/3.. hours.] Wrong: I have been waiting for you since 2pm.

'My father looks so handsome [in] his new shirt.' OR 'My father looks so handsome when he wears that new shirt.' Wrong: My father looks so handsome wearing his new shirt. - He remains in his old house because he likes [its] atmosphere so much. Speaking: "What time is it?" A: What time is it? B: Its 4:30pm. (Four-thirty in the afternoon).
