=LESSON XXXV.=
Point out each verb that is used by itself to make a complete statement,
and each verb that is not used by itself to make a complete statement:—
1. The boy sleeps.
2. My task is done.
3. This rose smells sweet.
4. The girls are cold.
When a verb by itself makes a complete statement, it is called =a verb
of complete predication=; as, Birds _fly_.
When a verb by itself does not make a complete statement, it is called
=a verb of incomplete predication=; as, This man _is_ a merchant.
