OpenStudy (avaobri):

What do you think the answer might be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking action, but I'm not very good with grammar.

@avaobri

OpenStudy (avaobri):

An action word is a verb that expresses physical or mental action.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Linking then?

OpenStudy (avaobri):

No linking verbs Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject.

OpenStudy (avaobri):

Is chirped creating action or no action?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O my. Haha. No action?

OpenStudy (avaobri):

No, there is action. The bird is chirping. Chirping is an action.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, wow i'm doing bad. So then it's none of the above? and Action verbs express physical or mental action, linking verbs connect the subject to the verb to additional information about the subject.

OpenStudy (avaobri):

It would be an Action verb. Chirping would be an action. The bird IS chirping.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. That's what I did put on the question. Thanks. I understand that a lot better now!

OpenStudy (avaobri):
