Question, is the following a Gerund phrase: “Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers”. What would be the subject and the verb ? And usually phrases don’t have both a noun and verb; would this be an exception?

@EnglishWithAshish

4 жыл бұрын

Depends. If it's used as a noun in a sentence, it will be a gerund phrase. • Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers gives him great insights about him. (Working as the subject) • He is known for having kept a sharp eye on philosophers. (Object of the preposition ABOUT) • Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers, He decided to write a book on life. (Working as a participle phrase, adjective) It's just a phrase that starts with a present participle, how it functions in a sentence will decide what exactly type of a phrase it is.

Could I ask you a question ? In your video, there is a sentence: Max is thinking about starting a business. I am confusing about the analysis of this sentence. Are “thinking about” as a phrasal verb and “starting a business”(gerund phrases) as the object of this phrasal verb, or are “think” as a verb and “about starting a business”(prepositional phrases) as the adverbial phrase to modify the verb “think”? and can a prepositional phrase work as a direct object of verbs, subject, or else nominal? Thank you very much!

@EnglishWithAshish

4 жыл бұрын

Let's look at it this way: • Max is thinking about about starting a business. Thinking: action verb About: preposition Starting a business: object of the preposition ABOUT (Gerund phrase) THINK is not a transitive verb. It is always followed by a preposition. • Think of • Think about • Thinking of me • Thinking about me Thinking me ❌ Hope this helps!

@@EnglishWithAshish But how to know whether the verb is transitive or not when there are both transitive and intransitive usages for one verb at the same time in the dictionary? All verbs that are followed by prepositions rather than direct objects are intransitive verbs, can I understand it in this way?

@EnglishWithAshish

4 жыл бұрын

I believe the concept of transitive verbs and intransitive verbs has been made difficult by some grammarians. You might find my way of looking at it helpful! Transitive verb: an action verb that can be acted upon something or somebody. In other words, it has a receiver. Eat, slap, kiss, hig, study, learn.... You can perform all these actions onto something or somebody. You can eat something or somebody. You can kiss something or somebody. But, can you sleep something or somebody? Can you walk something or somebody? Can you laught something or somebody? YOU CAN'T. These are intransitive verbs. Intransitive verbs can't be acted upon something or somebody directly or indirectly. They need a preposition after them. Look at these examples now! • She is eating right now. • Let's not study anymore. EATING and STUDY are transitive verbs that can have an object. But we choose not to. That doesn't make them intransitive verbs. Hope this helps! Try checking out my lesson on transitive and intransitive verbs; that might clear all your doubts!
