Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the updraftplus domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Summary: This post is about <\/span>how to group verbs<\/b> into different <\/span>folders<\/b> so that it is<\/span>easier<\/b>, if not funnier, for you to learn verbs in English, Business English in special.   In a word, it is also a<\/span> simplified version<\/b> of verb groupings from the <\/span>Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English<\/b> (p.361-364).  <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Verbs (2): How many verbs are there (Part I)?<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nThere are so many verbs in English and sometimes it makes you <\/span>confused<\/span>, right? What are you going to do with the problem? How can you learn Business English <\/span>faster<\/span>? How can you speed it up so that you <\/span>save your time<\/span> (and <\/span>money<\/span> as well)?<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nWell, one way to do this is to put verbs <\/span>into folders<\/span>, just like what you do to the files on your computer. So what are the <\/span>folders for English verbs<\/span>? In a way, there are <\/span>six<\/span> folders, and for now we\u2019ll talk about the first 3.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Folder 1:<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n
\n
She<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
 runs<\/span><\/td>\n\n
a startup in the local area.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
He <\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
works<\/span><\/td>\n\n
for Apple as a CEO.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>
\nThe verbs \u2018runs\u2019 and \u2018works\u2019 indicate some kind of actions that the \u2018he\u2019 or \u2018she\u2019 does something. So the name of this folder is: <\/span>ACTION<\/span>. Other examples include <\/span>bring, move, take, and buy<\/span>. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nFolder 2: <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n
\n
The marketing department<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
suggested<\/span><\/td>\nmoving the headquarter to China.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
We<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
have discussed<\/span><\/td>\n\n
the problem twice this month. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
I <\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
am writing<\/span><\/td>\n\n
to apply for the post of CEO.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nWhat do the three verbs have in common? They are verbs about your hands and mouths, so they are H&M verbs (Well, nothing to do with any clothes shops). They are verbs of <\/span>HAND & MOUTH<\/span>. <\/span>Other examples are <\/span>ask, announce, and discuss<\/span>. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Folder 3: <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n
\n
I<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
think<\/span><\/td>\n\n
there is something wrong with this proposal.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
Our company<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
has decided<\/span><\/td>\n\n
to open a new branch. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nSo the verbs \u2018think\u2019 and \u2018decide\u2019 imply no actions at all, and they have nothing to do with your hands and mouths. However, they have something to do with your brain. They are <\/span>BRAIN<\/span> <\/span>verbs. <\/span>Other examples include: <\/span>feel (think), guess, doubt<\/span>, and <\/span>study<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nSo, to sum up the three folders are: <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n
Action<\/span><\/span><\/td>\ne.g. run, open, work<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Head & Mouth (H&M)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\ne.g. ask, annonce, write, discuss, suggest<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brain<\/span><\/span><\/td>\ne.g. think, decide, feel (think), guess<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
