Here is the tefl question that i am struggling with. I have tried to answer some of them but would really appreciate some help,as i am not sure if they are right! As i am running out of time.

For each of the following five sentences:
(i) Identify the verb phrase.

(iv) Describe the functional meaning conveyed by the verb in the sentence.


Examples:

(iii) auxiliary 'be' (past tense) + present participle

As you now know, we don't help with any homework or assignments. Your TEFL teacher/tutor needs to see what you can do, not what we can do. Note the corrections I made (above) to the rest of your post. Given that your native language is shown as English, it is very important that whenever you post on the forum, your written English is correct. Learners frequently assume that anything posted by a native speaker must be correct so please make sure it is.

I am closing this thread so that no-one inadvertently completes the answers for you.
