 Hello, this unit discusses the formal properties of the English verb. This includes the discussion of functional aspects, that is, the verb as an element of clause structure, as well as a treatment of the notion predicate. In the virtual session, we will first look at those elements that realize the syntactic function verb. We will define several closely related terms, such as verb, verb phrase, verb group and predicate. As usual, if you don't know where to start, use the questions on the question sheet and the hyperlinks and video links in it. The mastery worksheet is a dynamic multiple-choice test, which, after the virtual session, shouldn't be problematic at all. And the practical, well, it trains your capability of identifying verbs, verb groups and verb phrases within larger constructions. The whole unit is fairly complex, but provided that you make use of all its components, you should manage.
