2. The verb is the most complex part of speech.
Its varying arrangements with nouns
determine the different kinds senteces-
statements, questions, commands,
exclamations.
3. Reflexive verbs
Auxialiry or lexical verbs
Finite or non-finite verbs
Predicating or linking verbs
Transitive or intransitive verbs
4. A reflexive verb requires one of the
compounds with self (reflexive pro noun) as
its object express oneself, pride oneself,
avail oneself.
5. The first part of the verb phrase is the
auxiliary (or auxiliaries), and the second part
is the lexical verb.
Auxiliary stuch us : -will be
-wont be
-would be
-could be
Lexical is the explanation of the auxiliary
verb
Contoh : wiil be banned
6. A finite verb is lexical verb with or without
auxiliary that acts as the full verb in the
predicat.
Non-finite (or infinite) verbs are incomplete
verbs forms that function as other parts of
speech than verbs.
7. The predicating word (or predicator) has
traditionally been called a verb of “action”
(babies cry; she wrote letter).
The important word in the complement is
usually an adjective (the girl is pretty) or a
noun (she is pretty girl).
8. A transitive verb takes a direct object (he is
reading a book).
Intransitive verb does not require an object
(he is walking in the park).
9. The verb is used after a subject, or before an
object or complement. The verb appears
before the subject in most questions, and in
senteces or clauses that begin with certain
types or negative adverbs. (see the section
on the position of nouns for more
information about the position of verbs).
