DELEXICAL QUINTETS
Delexical Verbs (lexikalisch inhaltslose Verben / empty verbs / Funktionsverben) haben zwar alle Funktionsmerkmale eines Verbs, aber keine eigenständige Wortbedeutung: diese ist verblasst oder völlig verschwunden.
Delexical Verbs sind deshalb auch nicht selbständig benutzbar, sondern werden mit einem Substantiv verbunden, das alleiniger Sinn- und Inhaltsträger ist. Das Substantiv ist dabei meist aus einem Verb abgeleitet.
Use each of the delexical verbs five times to complete the expressions. Then complete the sentences.
make
put
do
take
✔

A
action
an attempt
an appointment
business with somebody
a break

B

pressure on someone
