- Reviewed the answers to the (ungraded) quiz: Transitive verbs are always followed by a noun that receives the action. Intransitive verbs are not followed by a noun that receives the action. Linking verbs link the subject to the adjective that follows the verb, as in This soup tastes delicious. To be is most commonly followed by an adjective, a noun, or a prepositional phrase. This information will be important when we discuss the passive and prepositions.
- Received feedback on 30-minute essays: Essays should answer the question directly. For this 30-min essay, you should have first defined what it means to be well-educated. This is the general information. You should have then connected that definition to language learning. This is more specific information. You should have then written your thesis statement.
