GAP FILL 1. In a sentence with the structure S + V + x, if x is a noun that must be plural when S is plural, then V is intensive 2. In the structure S + V + x, if both S and x are plural nouns, V may be either intensive or extensive 3. In the same structure, if S is plural and x is a singular noun, then V is usually extensive 4. In S + V + A, if A can be realized by steadily, then V is dynamic, not stative 5. If Od is present in a clause, V is either mono-transitive Or di-transitive or complex-transitive 6. If Oi is present, V is di-transitive 7. If Co is present, V is complex-transitive 8. In S + V + A, if A is realized by at the moment, V is not intensive 9. In any structure, if V is transitive, it must be extensive 10. The progressive may occurs if V is dynamic but not if V is stative 1. A simple phrase that is not a pro-form can consist only of a (1) [lexical] verb. One that is a pro-form can only consist of an (2) [auxiliary]. 2. The verb phrase MUST BE SEEN contain three (3) [items]. The last has the function of a lexical verb; the second has the function of a (4) [primary] auxiliary. 3. Regular verbs are lexical verbs whose past tense and past participle one can always (5) [predict] from the (6) [base] 4. A finite verb must be marked for (7) [tense] and may have overt (8) [concord] with its subject in person and (9) [number] 5. Either the –ed or the –ing participle, like the (10) [infinitive] may also be used alone, as a (11) [non-finite verb] and (12) [non-finite clause] 1. In the structure S + V + O + C, the V is (3) [complex-transtitive] and C is (4) [object] complement. 2. The verb in Heaven help us! is an example of the (5) [formulaic] subjunctive, whereas the (6) [madative] subjunctive in I suggest he go is still in active use. 3. (7) [Tense] is the correspondence between the form of the verb and our concept of time while (8) [aspect] is the manner in which a verbal action is experienced or regarded with respect to time. 4. Adjectives are (9) [attributive] when they premodify nouns, i.e. appear between the (10) [determiner] and the head of the noun phrase.
5. The most common characteristic of the adverb is (11) [morphological]: the majority of adverbs have the (12) [derivational] suffix –ly. 6. The role of subject complement is that of attribute of the subject, whether a (13) [current] attribute (with stative verbs) or one (14) [resulting] from the event described by the verb (with dynamic verbs). 7. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition followed by a prepositional complement, which is characteristically a noun phrase or an (15) [-ing clause] or a (16) [wh-clause]. 8. Subordination is a [non-symmetrical] relation, holding between two clauses in such a way that one is a [constituent] of another. 9. The finite clause always contains a subject as well as a [predicate], except in the case of (20) [commands] and ellipsis. 1. In the interrogative transformation, the modal is used as an [operator] and changes place with the [subject] of the sentence. 2. Only a/an [complex transitive] verb can take an object compliment, and a/an [intransitive] verb does not take an object or a complement. 3. The progressive may occur if V is [dynamic] but not if V is [stative]. 4. A simple verb phrase that is not a pro-form can consist only of a/an [lexical] verb. One that is a pro-form can only consist of a/an [auxiliary] verb. 5. A [finite] verb phrase occurs as the verb element of a sentence. There is person and number [concord] between the subject and the verb. 6. The –ing participle in a complex verb phrase is, combined with the auxiliary be, a realization of [progressive] [aspect]. 7. In the sentence You clean the house, the verb clean may be either in the unmarked [indicative] mood or in the [imperative] mood. 8. The [mandative] subjunctive in that-clause has only one form – the base (V), which means there is lack of regular indicative concord between subject and finite verb in the 3rd person singular present, and the present and past tenses are [indistinguishable]. 9. In a sentence with the structure S + V + x, if x is a noun that must be plural when S is plural, then V is [intensive]. If S is plural and x is a singular noun, then V is [extensive]. 10. The –s form has the /z/ spoken realization after the base verb ending in [voiced] sounds other than sibilants, and has the /s/ spoken realization after the base verb ending in [voiceless] sounds other than sibilants.
