	A phrase is a group of words forming a unit; a clause implies the combination of a subject and a verb; a sentence means the presence of one or more clauses.

A clause can be distinguished from a phrase, which does not contain a subject and a verb (e.g., in the afternoon, drinking from the bowl).

This is called intransitive complementation. It involves verbs such as: appear, arrive, come, cough, decrease, die, disappear, drown, fall, go, happen, lie (tell an untruth), matter, rain, rise, sneeze, snow, stop, swim, work.

Explicação:
I´ve cooked a meal for you. = cooked = transitive verb/ a meal = direct object
My father has bougt a wonderful present for me. = ditransitive verb; a wonderful present = direct object; for me = indirect object
She seems tired. tired = predicative
A linking verb connects a subject to a predicate complement (predicative):
Example: Some of us thought that the play was very good.
Do you like flowers? = like = transitive verb/ flowers = direct object
He explained the situation to me. = ditransitive verb; the situation = direct object; to me = indirect object

LEXICAL VERB OR FULL VERB
In linguistics a lexical verb or full verb is a member of an open class of verbs that includes all verbs except auxiliary verbs. Lexical verbs typically express action, state, or other predicate meaning. The verb phrase of a sentence is generally headed by a lexical verb. It is the main verb of the sentence.
Example: Charlie raises his hand.
AUXILIARY VERBS OR HELPING VERBS
Just as the name implies, helping verbs, sometimes called auxiliary verbs, help out the main verb in a sentence. They accomplish this by giving more detail to how time is portrayed in a sentence. For this reason, they are used in [verb conjugation] to show the progressive and the perfect tenses of verbs.
On their own, helping verbs don't show meaning in that they don't communicate much when they stand alone. There sole purpose to help the main verb, which provides the real meaning.
Helping verbs help explain the sometimes complicated nuances of meaning. For example, they can show expectation, probability, obligation, potential, and directions. Though this may sound complicated, it's really not. There aren't that many helping verbs in the English language. They all fall into one of two groups: primary helping verbs and modal helping verbs.

Present Tenses:
¿ The Present Simple states that a constant, unchanging, or repeated action, state, or habit exists in the present. Adding s to verbs in the third person singular is one of the most basic English grammar rules that must always be followed. For all other persons, simply use the base form of the verb.
The sun always rises in the east.
¿ The Present Progressive describes an incomplete ongoing present action that is in the middle of happening, but will finish at some point. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb be (am/is/are) with the present participle verb form ending in ing
Dona is studying hard for her test right now.
¿ The Present Perfect Simple is a tricky grammar topic as it can be regarded as both a present and past tense. As a present tense, it signifies that an action started in the past and continues up to present time, in which it is completed. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb have (have/has) with the past participle form of the verb.
Ron has worked in the same company for 20 years.
¿ The Present Perfect Progressive also describes an action that began in the past and continues up to present time, in which it is (or most of it) is completed. Moreover, it stresses that the action has been going on incessantly and may also continue into the future. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb have (have/has) together with the auxiliary verb been and the present participle form of the verb ending with ing.
Ron has been working on the same document without a break for hours.

Explicação:
Delexical verb is a verb which has very little meaning in itself and is used with an object that carries the main meaning of the structure.
Delexical verbs are, in fact, not delexical unless they form a multi-word unit, i.e. a delexical structure. For example: to have a cold shower is a delexical structure and have in this structure is a delexical verb. The simplified pattern of this structure may be demonstrated as:
DELEXICAL VERB + (indefinite article, modifier) + NOUN

		'I take up my pen in the year of grace 17-, and go back to the time when my father kept the 'Admiral Benbow' inn, and the brown old seaman, with the saber cut, first took up his lodging under our roof.' (Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson)

		Complete the text with a proper verb tense (present, past or future)
Most men and women pass through life without ever considering or criticizing either their own conditions or those of the world at large. They find themselves born into a certain place insociety, and they accept what each day (to bring), without any thought beyond what the immediate present requires.
(Adapted from Proposed Roads To Freedom by Bertrand Russell)
	
	
	
	d)Had been bringing
	
	
	e)Brings
	
	
	c)Brought
	
	
	b)Has brought

I am sitting = Present continuous. Use this, not the present tense, to describe an action going on right now.
will make = Future. This describes something that has not happened yet but will happen at some point.
has just rung = Present perfect. This implies that the action happened in the very recent past ¿ here, a few seconds ago. The key word is ¿just,¿ which means that the action was recent.
