i believe that there are no passive verbs in English only passive voice of most verbs like i am doing it assi onand it is being done but passive verbs in other language that do have them are the verbs that can only be done but not doing it while quasi ones would be the ones that thou have passive form they are not really being done onto an objest but a subject is actively doing them onty an objest. in both cases an action is being done by a subject onto an object but while in active voice the action is being viewed and said about from the doers voint of view while in the passive form it is the objct that is kind of talking about what is being done to it by a subject of the action,in quasi form it is actually an active action looked on from the doers point of view that isbeing said in the passive voice thou it is an active subjects speaking about her action this is what i think about it thou inot sure am sorry i wrote this in hurry
A noun that follows an action verb and receives the action of the verb is what?
A noun that receives the action verb would be the indirect object! That may seem strange. Let's work it out. He gave John the book. Who did the action? He did the action. He is the subject. What action was done? He Gave. Gave is the action done. What did he give? He gave the book. Book is the direct object. Who received the book? John received the book? John is the indirect object! Book is the direct object. It is the item on which the action is performed.
Action and linking verb?
An action verb is an action which is done whether it's mental, or a visable action that was done. For example walk would be an action verb because someone's doing something. Remember would also be an action verb because someone is doing a mental action. A linking verb links the subject to another word in the predicate. Sentences are split into two parts the complete subject and the complete predicate. All of the words that are the subjects or relate to the subjects are in the complete subject. All of the words that are the verb, or relate to the verb are the complete predicate. Any form of to be, as a main verb, is always a linking verb because it's always linking the subject to a word. The words that are linked to the subject are called subject complements. The three types of subject complements are predicate nouns(nouns that link to the subject), predicate prounouns(pronouns that link to the subject), or predicate adjectives(adjectives that link to the subject). If you can replace the main verb with a form of to be then it's probably a linking verb. Look at your subject, and see if it can be linked to any words(subject complements). That should be able to tell you if it's an action verb or a linking verb. If the main verb links the subject to another word then it's a linking verb. If the main verb doesn't link the subject, and it's an action then it's probably an action verb.
