Looks like we have a LOT of 'intransients' here.

Isn't a verb generally something you use to indicate the 'action' in a sentence - like 'climb' or 'jump.'

Adding -ing to the verb usually creates the 'instransient version of the verb. It would be used like "I was climbing the lighthouse."

So the verb in that sentence is 'was' isn't it?

Must be some members of P.O.E.M. here who can point us in the right direction... (Or is it pointing?)

P.O.E.M. - From Garrison Keeler "Professional Organization of English Majors"

"ing"

Per Mr. Webster - suffix, used to form the present participle of a verb, ei, preserving.

"participle"

A nominal form of a verb that is used with an auxiliary verb to indicate certain tenses AND that can ALSO function independently as an adjective.

preserve (verb) preserving (transitive verb) Now we are getting really confusing,

SO, is it or isn't it?????

A verb is a verb is a verb in this case...all I'm worried about is the "base" of the word. All these different forms are WAAAAYYY too much to think about.

Don't worry about whether it's transitive or intransitive or participial or whatever. I hate doing this kind of stuff enough in English and Latin class. I thought that the CF was a "grammar escape"! laugh wink
