Explanation

"Grew" here does not describe a physical action.

But instead connects the subject ("She") to its complement ("a lively young woman"), showing a state of transformation.

Linking verbs (e.g., become, seem, appear) tie the subject to a description or identity.

Unlike action verbs (e.g., run, jump).

Explanation

A transitive verb needs a direct object to complete its meaning.

In this sentence, "brought" is the transitive verb and "a gift" is its direct object.

Explanation

"Semantics" is a singular noun referring to a field of study.

So, we use the singular verb "is" to agree with the subject.

Explanation

 To maintain parallel structure, it should be: "reading, painting, and jogging."

"She enjoys reading, painting, and jogging."

All verbs are now in the same 'ing' form.

Explanation

In formal English, after verbs like "suggest," "recommend," "insist," we use the subjunctive mood.

The subjunctive uses the base form of the verb (without "to") regardless of the subject.

Explanation

A transitive verb requires a direct object to complete its meaning.

“Took” is transitive and “the keys” is its direct object.

Explanation

"Sent" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object ("an email") to complete its meaning.

A transitive verb always acts on something—here, "email" receives the action of "sent."

Explanation

"Will be" is a helping (auxiliary) verb used to form the future continuous tense.

It supports the main verb "taking" to indicate an ongoing future action.

Explanation

Intensive verb is the verb which has subject complement and the complement refers to the subject.

"Laughs" shows the action performed by the boy, so it is a verb.

It describes what the subject (the boy) is doing.

Explanation

The sentence is: "Babies cry when they are hungry."

The word "cry" shows the action performed by the subject "Babies", so it is a verb.
