Verbs: Try it Yourself

[Page 15 of 28]

Verbs carry the idea of being or action in the sentence. As we will see on this page, verbs are classified in many ways. First, some verbs require an object to complete their meaning: "She gave _____ ?" Gave what? She gave money to the church. These verbs are called transitive. Verbs that are intransitive do not require objects: "The building collapsed." In English, you cannot tell the difference between a transitive and intransitive verb by its form; you have to see how the verb is functioning within the sentence. In fact, a verb can be both transitive and intransitive: "The monster collapsed the building by sitting on it."

Task the following sentences and click on the verb in the parentheses that best completes the sentence.

1. Carrie will go to college if she (will find, finds, has found) enough money to cover tuition.
