Can which be a verb?

Answer 1

Did you mean to write, "Can is become a verb?" If yes, then here is your answer; if not, keep reading till the end, because your question will still be answered.

"Is" is a linking verb. Linking verbs connect the subject to the predicate. Let's take a look at the following sentence: Mary is nice to everyone.

First of all, "Mary" is the subject of sentence, making the rest of it the predicate. Here is the sentence broken down into parts:

"Mary" is a noun.

"Is" is a [linking] verb.

"Nice" is an adjective describing Mary.

"To everyone" is a prepositional phrase. "To" is the preposition and "everyone" is the object of the preposition.

Here is the list of linking verbs that I was taught in fourth grade. It's very easy to memorize - just sing it to the tune of Yankee Doodle!

Am

Is

Are

Was

Were

Be

Being

Been

Has

Have

Had

Do

Does

Did

Shall

Will

Should

Would

May

Might

Must

Can

Could -

These are some of our linking verbs!

Luckily, if you were not asking about the word is, the word can is also on the linking verb list, so everything I just wrote still applies! If you meant the word become, that is also a verb. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

No, which cannot be a verb. Verbs indicate actions, events, existence. Every grammatical sentence in English must include at least one verb. Examples of verbs: * to run * to do * to have * to happen, occur * to panic * to fall * to be * to stay * to collapse * to die

Answer 3

Yes. The verb "was put" is synonymous with "was placed" where put is similarly the past participle form of to putused in a passive form.

Examples:

The plane hit some turbulence and was put into a spin.

He was put in an agitated state by all of the noise.

Answer 4

I am not sure if you are asking about the word "is" or about the word "can." The word "is" refers to the verb "to be" and it's the third person, present tense: I am, you are, he/she/it is. For example: He is happy. She is intelligent. The word "is" may also be seen as part of the present continuous tense, referring to an action that is still going on: she is reading a book; he is studying grammar.

The verb "can" means to be able, to be physically capable of something. (It is often confused with "may"-- which asks for permission. I can do that-- in other words, I am able to do it. May I do that?-- in other words, I am asking if it's okay.)

Answer 5

No. The past simple is became. NOT becomed, as it would be if it was a regular verb.
