What is the teacher trying to teach by telling the students to identify group verbs. How is a verb different from a group verb?
Thanks for your help.
"Carry" and "can" are verbs. When combined with other verbs, they form a verb group.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To identify the verb group in each sentence, you need to find the main verb and any auxiliary verbs that accompany it.
1. In the sentence "an elephant will carry twigs with its trunk," the verb group is "will carry." The main verb is "carry," and the auxiliary verb is "will".
To write a new sentence using the verb group, you could say: "The elephant is going to carry twigs with its trunk."
2. In the sentence "elephant tusks are ivory," the verb group is "are ivory." The main verb is "are," and there are no auxiliary verbs.
To write a new sentence using the verb group, you could say: "Elephant tusks resemble ivory."
3. In the sentence "some tusks can be more than ten feet long," the verb group is "can be." The main verb is "be," and the auxiliary verb is "can."
To write a new sentence using the verb group, you could say: "Some tusks have the potential to exceed ten feet in length."
Remember, the verb group consists of the main verb and any accompanying auxiliary verbs. By identifying these verbs, you can construct new sentences using the verb group you underlined.
