| Abstract | ||
| Catenative verbs are widely used in English. Also, they are somehow a difficult and confusing subject. Iraqi EFL learners may not have a full mastery of distinguishing catenative verbs owing to the difficulties they encounter in using them. These difficulties may be to the nature of English system which is different from Arabic. In addition, it has been noticed that the recognition and production of catenative verbs are problematic for Iraqi EFL learners of the fourth academic year. The students are unable to identify the types of catenative verbs. e.g., (1) He admitted taking the money. (2) You are forbidden to smoke in here. (3) I propose to tell/telling her. Moreover, Iraqi EFL learners may not distinguish between catenative verbs and full verbs or they cannot distinguish between the object complement and the catenative complement | ||
