A. PHẦN I. LINKING VERBS
MỘT SỐ LINKING VERBS/ STATES VERBS QUEN THUỘC TRONG TIẾNG ANH
Khi bất chợt nhìn thấy một cô gái rất xinh đẹp, chúng ta sẽ dùng câu nói gì để khen cô ấy nhỉ? Chắc hẳn vài bạn sẽ có ngay câu trả lời là “She is so beautiful.” Good! Đó là một câu trả lời rất đúng nhưng nghe có vẻ hơi nhàm chán đúng không nào, vậy sao ta không thay đổi chút xíu bằng cách nói “She looks so beautiful”. Vậy từ ‘look’ trong câu vừa rồi có phải là động từ ‘nhìn’ không nào, câu trả lời là chưa chính xác mà phải là ‘trông có vẻ’ nhé, và đó chính là một linking verb với chức năng cũng giống động từ ‘to be’ và thường được theo sau bởi nouns/ pronouns/ adjectives. Chúng ta hãy cùng tìm hiểu xem tiếng Anh có những linking verb nào nhé.
