This is one of the site’s deepest example collections: 750 original examples organized across 6 practical categories. Search, filter, and compare patterns without reading the list in order.
Strong verb choice clarifies what happens, when it happens, and how the subject relates to the rest of the sentence while reducing dependence on vague modifiers.
Use these fuller examples to see what changes between a recognizable pattern and a finished piece of writing. The examples are original or explicitly illustrative, so they demonstrate structure without inventing real-world evidence.
Draft
Identifying only “testing” loses important time/aspect information.
Why it works: Treat “have been testing” as the complete verb phrase: “testing” carries the lexical action while “have” and “been” build perfect progressive aspect.
Compare
Verb type depends on use in context, not only on the dictionary entry.
Why it works: In the first sentence, “tastes” links soup to the complement bitter; in the second, it expresses the chef’s action and takes an object.
These transformations make the hidden planning step visible so the template does not become a fill-in-the-blanks substitute for judgment.
Starting material: Draft: The team made a review of the final figures.

| Level | What changes | Quality test |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition | Identify the complete verb or verb phrase and distinguish the main lexical verb from auxiliaries. | The analysis captures tense, agreement, and helping verbs rather than naming only the nearest -ing or -ed form. |
| Type & sentence role | Distinguish action, linking, state, transitive, intransitive, modal, and auxiliary uses where the distinction helps. | The label follows the verb’s actual use in that sentence instead of treating a verb as permanently one type. |
| Revision & control | Revise weak, vague, overloaded, or inconsistent verb phrases for precision, tense logic, aspect, voice, and agreement. | The final verb form makes both action and time relationship clearer without unnecessary complexity. |
