3. Define the class of the verbs below. Mind that different lexical-semantic variants of one verb may belong to several grammatical subclasses, and one phonetical word may represent two or more verbal homonyms.
For example:
| to be - | 1) notional verb - “To be or not to be...”; 2) auxiliary verb - to be going (continuous aspect form), to be frightened (passive voice form); 3) modal verb - You are to stay here; 4) link verb - He is a poet. |
to do, to have, can, to turn, to spend, will (would), to grow, to expect, to continue, to prove, to fall, to get, to feel
State the difference between the marked verbs in the following sentences and identify the subclasses the verbs belong to.
1) She entered the room and started to discussthe acute problems. 2) She entered the room and started the discussion of the acute problems. 3) She failed to pass the exams successfully. 4) She failed her exams to the University. 5) I began to feel better. 6) You try to look cleverer than you are. 7) The moon rose red. 8) I began to feel better. 9) You try to look cleverer than you are. 10) She grew pale.
