Classification of verbs and noun

[Masouma]

Our teacher said stative verb and to be verbs are the same but other websites say otherwise. I made a classification of verb and noun. I need someone check it for me, and give me feedback about its subclass as well.

It doesn't make much sense to me. What exactly are you trying to do and why?

 

[Masouma]

I am trying to create an accurate tree diagram for classification of noun and verb. I am kind of confused if these are divided correctly into subcategories.

 

[jutfrank]

Tree diagram? That's not a tree diagram. What do you mean by 'classification of noun and verb'? What's the purpose of this? Are you trying to understand something?

I can't make any sense of the way you're organising things. Are you suggesting that, for example, main verbs, action verbs, linking verbs, and stative verbs are types of finite verb?

 

[Masouma]

Yes. Exactly. For example, I am not if generally noun is classified into two main groups of concrete noun and abstract noun.

 

[jutfrank]

You've got some things right, but the whole idea of trying to make a hierarchical 'tree diagram' is badly mistaken.

For example, yes, you can classify all nouns into the two distinct classes of concrete noun and abstract noun, but you cannot then further sub-classify concrete nouns into proper nouns, common nouns, collective nouns, compound nouns, etc.

 

[Masouma]

Humm I understand, but I cannot sleep without doing this. I have an obsession to classify each and everything. So the same thing goes for verbs or no those ones are correct?

 

[jutfrank]

No, the same thing goes for verbs.

I cannot sleep without doing this

I suggest that either you get some heavy tranquilisers or you completely change your approach.

I am trying to create an accurate tree diagram for classificationS of nounS and verbS. I am kind of confused if these are divided correctly into subcategories.

I might say that I'm not sure if the subcategories are correct. But I wouldn't say that. (Making that list would be too much bother.)

I don't understand why you want to do that.

 

[Skrej]

Perhaps this is a language difference. Maybe this kind of classification works or exits in Farsi/Dari, but it doesn't exist in English.

If that's the case, then you'll just have to forget about trying it in English.

 

[Masouma]

I might say that I'm not sure if the subcategories are correct. But I wouldn't say that. (Making that list would be too much bother.)

I don't understand why you want to do that.

Creating those lists were headache(i did it for all grammars i know). Unfortunately, I have an obsession to categories stuff that I learn, and without doing so, I can't go to sleep. I want them both categoriesd and accurate. I am so tired. I don't what to do....

 

[5jj]

I want them both categorised and accurate

You will not find 'accurate' categories. No two grammarians agree on such things.

 

[Masouma]

Thank you. It was helpful.

 

[Tarheel]

Say:

Creating those lists was a headache.

I don't think that expression is ever used in the plural.

 

[emsr2d2]

Creating those lists were was a headache space here (I did have done it for all the grammars I know).

Did you mean "all the languages" you know? I don't know what you meant by "all the grammars".

Unfortunately, I have an obsession to with categories categorising stuff that I learn, and without doing so, I can't go to sleep. I want them both categorised and accurate. I am so tired. I don't know what to do.

If this obsession is taking over your life to this extent, you need to find some therapy or hypnosis (or similar) to help you.
