kyanthedoodle · Answer

I would look for hours and hours, but I was never able to find my house.

anonymous · Answer

so what make the word look an action verb? how do you make it an action?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

In order to make an action verb, you need a subject: the one who is doing the action.

anonymous · Answer

Okay, so for the word "sound". I would say, "Tell the soldiers to sound the alarm"?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

It could be, although I can't guarantee it. Sound would be one of the action verbs, but the main one would be "tell" the subject being you. A way to make "sound" a definite action verb would be like "The soldiers will sound the alarm."

anonymous · Answer

oh

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yes. English is very complicated, so if you don't understand, I can't blame you.

anonymous · Answer

how do you understand it then? :D

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Years of getting it wrong kinda taught me how to get it right. :D

anonymous · Answer

haha, cool :D

anonymous · Answer

I have some more, can you help me?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Sure.

anonymous · Answer

okay! The word is "smell". I have, The cat smelled the man's boots.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yep. That's the action verb.

anonymous · Answer

:D the word is,feel. my sentence is " if you feel badly, you have a problem with your sense of touch".

kyanthedoodle · Answer

This one seems kinda tricky, but I think you have it right.

anonymous · Answer

okay :) what about this one. the word is taste. I have - Miranda tasted the spicy chicken curry.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yep

anonymous · Answer

this is a stupid question but, do you know linking verbs as well?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Indeed. They connect the subject to the action.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Or adjective.

anonymous · Answer

okay! I have some more questions then. one second :D

anonymous · Answer

okay, for the word "look" again, I have - That looks nice. is that a linking verb sentence?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Indeed. Looks can be an action verb, but can also be a linking verb. It provides the connection between the subject and the adjective.

anonymous · Answer

:) okay, what about the word "sound" I have the sentence - That sound is quite annoying. is that a linking verb sentence?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

It's a linking verb, but it's not sound. The sound is the subject, and the adjective is quite annoying. That means that the linking verb is "is."

anonymous · Answer

oh, how do I make the linking verb sound?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

You can do it by replacing is with sounds. "That sounds quite annoying."

anonymous · Answer

oh

anonymous · Answer

what about the word "smell" I have - Roses smell good.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Think of it this way: Are the roses performing any action?

anonymous · Answer

I don't think so.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Then it's a linking verb

anonymous · Answer

oh :O

anonymous · Answer

what about the word "feel" my sentence is - I feel good when the boss compliments me.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Let's see if you can do this one on your own. What do you think this one is?

anonymous · Answer

I think it is a linking verb sentence :/

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Indeed

anonymous · Answer

:D

anonymous · Answer

what about the word "taste" I have - The cinnamon rolls taste amazing!

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Ideas?

anonymous · Answer

I think it's a linking verb sentence!

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yep

anonymous · Answer

:)

anonymous · Answer

do you know helping verbs?

anonymous · Answer

oh, okay. can you tell me if I pick the correct one for my sentences?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Sure

anonymous · Answer

:D okay

anonymous · Answer

I have //// Plastic bags --------- keep sandwiches fresh. I think the helping verb is "can"!

kyanthedoodle · Answer

I agree

anonymous · Answer

That bear -------- eaten almost everything.  I think it's has.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

It can be has or had. Either way, I'd think you're correct.

anonymous · Answer

okay! They ----- already tasted the vegetable soup. I think it is have.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Hmm.. I think this one is had. "Have" is more in the present tense, and this sentence must be in the past because of "tasted."

anonymous · Answer

ohhh

anonymous · Answer

The butter ----- melting in the bowl. I think it's is.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yep

anonymous · Answer

:) the baby ------ been irritable all day. I think it's has.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

Joshua ====== want to arrive earlier than usual.  may or might?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

I think it could be either.

anonymous · Answer

I will go with may!

anonymous · Answer

You -===--- look in the drawer. can or could?

anonymous · Answer

or should

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Either could be right, but can would have a better chance of being the correct answer because "look" is in present tense.

anonymous · Answer

okay

anonymous · Answer

Amanda ----- wearing two different socks. I think it's is.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Yep

anonymous · Answer

Dad -------- work overtime today. I think it's is!

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Hm....that doesn't sound right. This sounds like it needs to be set in the future.

anonymous · Answer

oh, never mind I miss read the sentence sorry

kyanthedoodle · Answer

That's okay

anonymous · Answer

I thought it was dad ---- working lol

anonymous · Answer

it could be - may or could?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Do you have to pick between them? Both of them are correct.

anonymous · Answer

um, it says that I have to fill in the blank with appropriate helping verbs, I'm not sure if I can pick more than one answer :(
