2. Transitive or Intransitive Verb
A transitive verb takes a direct object he is reading book. For an
intransitively does not require an object He is walking in the park. Only transitive verbs may be used in the passive voice, because transitive has
object in the sentence. Many verbs also may be used either transitively he is writing a letter or intransitively he is writing at library for example;
read, write, look. Other verbs of transitive only and must be follow by an object, for example; have, like, need, owe, remember.
3. Reflexive Verb
A reflexive verb requires one of the compounds with –self reflexive
pronoun as its object. For example: He washed himself and dressed himself
quickly.
4. Auxiliary or Lexical Verb
The auxiliary verb acts as a “helping” verb to the lexical verb by adding either 1 a structural element that marks differences in tense, or 2 a
semantic coloring such as ability, possibility or necessity modal auxiliary.
The lexical verb is often called the main verb. Other names for lexical verb
are notional verb, principal verb, and meaningful verb. For example, open, go, take, and etc.
Auxiliary combines with lexical verbs that are in simple unchanged form
will open, in- ing form is opening, or in- ed form was opened. A
lexical verb may have no auxiliaries he opens, he opened, one auxiliary he will open, two auxiliaries he has been opening, or three auxiliaries
he may have been opening. Only, be and have, the verbs that may be
used independently, can indicate person and number.
5. Finite or Non-finite Verb
The form for these verbs is determined by the function which the verb has
in a sentence. A finite verb is lexical verb with or without auxiliaries that acts as the full verb in the predicate. It is limited by all the grammatical
properties. Non- finite or infinite verbs are incomplete verb forms that function as
other parts of speech than verbs. They consist of the infinitive forms to + the simple form of the verb and the participial
–ing or –ed forms. Thus, in
The boy talking to the teacher is my brother, talking is a participle used as an adjective to modify boy. In He likes talking to the teacher, talking
is a noun gerund used as the object of likes.
Because these types may cut across each other, a verb may belong to more than one type. Therefore In this research, the researcher tends to use lexical verb or
finite verb. Because it acts as the full verb in the sentence
