Gateway to SBI Mains : English (Verb)
A Verb is a word that tells or asserts something about a person or thing. Ittells about the person or thing in the state of (a) doing, (b) being or (c) beingacted up on. Thus a verb is a doing or being word.
Kinds of verbs : Transitive and Intransitive VerbsA Transitive verb is a verb that denotes an action which passes over fromthe doer or agent to an object, Transitive means passing over. For example, India won the World Cup.
An Intransitive verb is a verb that denotes an action which does not passover to an object, or that expresses a state of an object, or that expresses astate of being. Intransitive means not passing over. For example,The sun shines brightly.
Rule: When an intransitive verb is used in a causative sense, it becomestransitive.1. He sat in a chair.2. He sat me on chair.
Rule: Verbs like, fall, lie, rise and sit are made transitive by a slight changein their spellings. The transitive is the causative of the correspondingintransitive verb. Incorrect: The poachers were caught yesterday when they fell trees illegally.Correct : The poachers were caught yesterday when they felled treesillegally.
Verbs of Incomplete PredicationThe intransitive verb which requires something to make the sense completeis called a verb of incomplete predication.For example be, become, seem, grow, taste, appear. That which is required to make the sense (of these verbs) complete is knownas the complement of the verb or the completion of the predicate. For example,The family appears.
Rule: When the subjective complement is a noun (or a pronoun), it is in thesame case as the subject, that is, in the nominative case.For exampleThe lawyer called the witness a liar.
Rule: When the objective complement is a noun it is in the objective case inagreement with the object.
SubjectVerb Agreement : Language has its base in logic and harmony. The subject and the verb arethe essential parts of a sentence. It is imperative that the verb agree with thesubject in number and person.
Rule: Two or more singular subjects connected by and usually take a verb inthe plural.Incorrect: Computer and telecommunication has metamorphosed informationtechnology.Correct: Computer and telecommunication have metamorphosed informationtechnology.
Rule: If two singular nouns refer to the same person or thing, the verb mustbe singular.Incorrect : The poet and critic have been honoured.Correct : The poet and critic has been honoured.
Rule: If two subjects together express one idea, the verb is in the singular.Incorrect: Bread and butter are essential for one's life.Correct: Bread and butter is essential for one's life.
Rule: If the singular subjects are preceded by each or every, the verb is
usually singular.Incorrect: Every man and woman in a family are responsible for theupbringing of a child.Correct: Every man and woman in a family is responsible for the upbringingof a child.
