MomtoMERLD Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 My son has a sentence to identify the parts of speech. "Stop Talking." I know You is the subject. I think Stop is the verb, but what is talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha in GA Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think "talking" is a gerund (noun by definition) acting as a direct object of stop. Maybe it would be easier to see if you replaced "talking" with "the ball" : "Stop the ball." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
