Verbs
Verbs show what the subject of a sentence does,
consider five verbs in view.
Type
Typing { transitive verb}is what I {pronoun} am
doing on the computer {noun} now. Dictionary says it is a
transitive verb. A transitive verb takes two objects, in the above
sentence the two objects are I and computer.
Drinking
I {pronoun} am {verb} drinking {transitive verb} a
cup {noun} of coffee {noun}. Is that right or is coffee an adjective.
What about: I {pronoun} put {transitive verb} the (adjective} coffee
{adjective} cup {noun} on {adverb} the {adjective} shelf {noun}.
Dictionary says coffee is a noun. I am confused. I
consider confused in the sentence below and become more confused. And
what about am being a verb, not much action there, but it does show
what the sentence does.
Moved
I {pronoun} moved {verb} the mouse {noun} and the
cursor {noun} moved {verb} also {adverb}.
I {pronoun} am {transitive verb} confused
{adjective?}.
If confused is an adjective, where is the noun?
Look up am in the dictionary and you are
referred to be, where you are informed am is present
indirect and that be is a verb. You also find out why
dictionaries are unusable. They talk about objects, not nouns, when
talking about transitive verbs. So can an adjective be an object?
Buggered if I know.
I {pronoun} am {transitive verb} a {} confused
{adjective} human{noun}.
I could have been a confused person, but that is
no fun, I prefer to be a living creature.
Confused
Being {noun} tired {verb}, I {pronoun}
confused {verb} the {adjective} mouse {noun} with the
{adjective}coffee {adjective} cup {noun}.
Ran
Being {noun} completely {adverb} confused
{verb}, he {pronoun} just {adverb} ran {verb} away {?}.
Had to go for an easy one, "ran" is
definitely a verb. As to what away is?
