verbs in terms of syntactic and semantic features in English and their Vietnamese equivalents Before going deeply into this kind of verb, the English verb is introduced with its definition and classification Then its syntactic and semantic features are also presented with definition, position and examples In the chapters following this, Guessing verb and its features are presented with clear examples and at the same time they are analyzed and compared with Vietnamese equivalents to find out the similarities and differences between the two languages in the concern area The study attempts to provide readers, particularly students of English, solution to their problem when using Guessing verbs and their features and their complementation Then the suggestion for further studies and the implications for learning English grammar better are also given iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS A Adverbial Adj Adjective Adv Adverb C Complement O Objective S Subject V Verb L1 First language L2

around the world draws the attention of many linguists English has different characteristics from those of Vietnamese, for example the grammar, the vocabulary, the pronunciation, the meaning, etc Anyway, whenever talking about characteristics of any language, we should mention the components forming the sentence of that language Therefore, becoming a fluent use of English is also one of the essential demands of most English learners However, it is not easy to achieve this because English can sometimes cause them a lot of troubles with its grammar, structures, vocabularies, and pronunciation, etc in which English grammar has the great importance and the certain difficulty In English Grammar, The English Verb group has always been the element that causes much more obstacles to learners than any other ones in the sentence because it provides the power of the sentence Vietnamese learners have been facing a lot of difficulties when they learn a foreign language One of the obstacles that they often have to cope is studying about the verb groups in English Especially, the misunderstanding of using the Guessing verb group causes many problems to English users They often feel confused to choose right verb and make errors in using them These verbs can occur in different syntactic patterns that reflect various meanings in communication They can occur in the same syntactic patterns, but may have different meanings depending on the situation in which they are used There have been a lot of researchers conducting investigations into the Guessing verb group both
