Verbs have two important functions: Some verbs put stalled subjects into motion while other verbs help to clarify the subjects in meaningful ways. Look at the examples below: My grumpy old English teacher smiled at the plate of cold meatloaf. My grumpy old English teacher = stalled subject; smiled = verb. The daredevil cockroach splashed into Sara's soup. The important thing to remember is that every subject in a sentence must have a verb.

Many words in English have more than one function. Potato chips crunch too loudly to eat during an exam. Crunch is something that we can do. Dance! Clyde sneezes with the force of a tornado. If you are unsure whether a sentence contains an action verb or not, look at every word in the sentence and ask yourself, "Is this something that a person or thing can do? " During the summer, my poodle constantly pants and drools. Can you during? Linking verbs, on the other hand, do not express action. The Abstract Noun. Printer Fabulous!

Types of Reduced Relative Clauses. Reduced relative clauses refer to the shortening of a relative clause which modifies the subject of a sentence.

Types of Reduced Relative Clauses

Reduced relative clauses modify the subject and not the object of a sentence. Much like adjectives, relative clauses, also known as adjective clauses, modify nouns. The man who works at Costco lives in Seattle.I gave a book, which was written by Hemingway, to Mary last week. In above examples, "who works at Costco" modifies—or provides information about—the "man" who is the subject of the sentence. In the second sentence, "which was written by Hemingway" modifies the object "book. " The man working at Costco lives in Seattle.
