Asked by Cicilia

What are the verbs in these sentences? I just want to check my work.

Gasping, Matty called for his gift to come. There was no sense of how to direct it. He became aware, suddenly, that he had been chosen for this.

Thanks in advance!

These are my answers:
gasping
called
was
became
had been chosen

I'm not sure about "to come" and "to direct". Are the ones that I listed right? Did I miss any?

Thanks Ms. Sue!
Answered by Ms. Sue
All except gasping are correct. There are only the last four verbs you listed.


In this sentence, "gasping" is a present participle used as an adjective. "To come" and "to direct" are infinitives used as adjectives in these sentences.

Answered by Cicilia
Oh, okay! Thanks!

Just curious- What words do "to come" and "to direct" describe?
Answered by Ms. Sue
To come describes gift. To direct describes how.
