What are the differences between transitive, intransitive, action and linking verbs?

English
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago

a transitive verb can have a direct object linked to it in a sentence

    ex. In the sentence 'he lifted his pencil', lifted would be a transitive verb


an intransitive verb can't have a direct object linked to it in a sentence

    ex. In the sentence 'he looked at his paper', looked would be a intransitive verb because you need the at for the sentence to make sense


an action verb shows physical or mental action, telling us what the subject is doing

    ex. In the sentence 'he became nervous', became is an action verb because it is describing how his mental state changed


a linking verb can connect the subject with information about the subject. they do not show action, instead showing a connection or relationship.

    ex. In the sentence 'It was a hard problem', the word was connected the subject, it, with more information about it, that it was a hard problem.

Use the drop-down menus to choose the coordinating conjunction that best connects the two independent clauses.
saw5 [17]

The coordinating conjuctions in English are just three "and, or, but". 'And' is used to add information, 'or' to indicate alternatives, and 'but' to express contrast. These conjuctions link only units of the same level/ status, for example independent clauses.


1° sentence: Carlos put his books in his backpack, and he walked to the library. Here 'and' is appropiate because you need to add information.

2° sentence: My sister loves dogs but my brother prefers cats. 'But' is the correct one to indicate contrast between the two people's preferences.

3° sentence: Dad will make spaghetti for dinner or he will take us out for pizza. 'Or' is the correct one since the independent sentences signal alternatives
