Verb Phrase

     Every sentence must have a verb. To depict doable activities, writers use action verbs. To describe conditions, writers choose linking verbs.

Examples

1)The tires screeched as Selena mashed the accelerator.

-In the first sentence, screeched and mashed, single-word verbs, describe the quick actions of both the tires and Selena.

2)Selena should have been driving with more care, for then she would not have gotten her third ticket this year.

-The auxiliary verbs that comprise should have been driving [a four-word verb] and would have gotten [a three-word verb] express not only time relationships but also evaluation of Selena's actions.

Take My Heart-Soko

You can take my heart for a walk on the beach

You can take my heart for a little trip

You can take my heart very close to your heart

You can take my heart forever if you like

But not every heart belongs to any other

You and I

You and I are meant to be

I'm the one for you, You're the one for me

You love me as much as I do

When you look at me and we're skin to skin

I want you so

Please come in

And you love me more and more

And my love grows up with you

And you kiss me more and more

And I kiss you, too

And I kiss you, too

If I take your heart, I will cherish it every day

If I take your heart, I will heal these old wounds

If I take your heart, it's to make it happy

If I take your heart, it's forever close to mine
