Question

In the sentence, “Henry Fleming dreams of heroic deeds,” the verb is _____.

Answer 1

In the sentence, “Henry Fleming dreams of heroic deeds,” the verb is intransitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

An intransitive verb is an action verb which expresses the activity which can be done. It does not have any direct object which receives the action done. In the above sentence, the action verb is 'dream'. The object 'heroic deads' in the sentence is not direct. The action is not done directly on the object.

Answer 2

In the sentence “Henry Fleming dreams of heroic deeds” the verb is DREAMS.
This verb selects an object, which in this case is “of heroic deeds” and the agent who performs the action, that is to say the subjects, is Henry Fleming.
