    107. 

  107.                         "to get sick," "to become ill," is a process verb; that is the activity
    108. 

  108.                         described includes some changes in the situation. Process verbs tell of an
    109. 

  109.                         action which has caused a change from one state to another, as from whole to
    110. 

  110.                         broken ("to break") and from frozen to melted ("to melt"). <span xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin" class="foreignphrase">Bìng</em></span> is typical of process
    111. 

  111.                         verbs: not only is an action described (coming down with an illness) but
    112. 

  112.                         also a resulting state (being ill). Because of this typical combination,
    113. 

  113.                         process verbs are sometimes thought of as combining the semantic
    114. 

  114.                         characteristics of action and state verbs.</p><p>One of the main purposes of talking about verbs in terms of action, state,
    115. 

  115.                         and process is to draw attention to the fact that the Chinese way of
    116. 

  116.                         expressing something may not correspond to the English. </p><p>For instance,</p><p>"I am sick" in Chinese is <span xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin" class="foreignphrase">Wǒ
    117. 

  117.                             bìng le. </em></span>("I have gotten sick"). For "I am not sick,"
    118.

  119.                             bìng.</em></span> ("I didn't get sick").</p><p>Process verbs are always made negative with m|i9 regardless of whether you

    123. 

  123.                         meaning is to discover how verbs behave in sentences. Knowing whether a verb
    124. 

  124.                         is in the action, state, or process category, you will know what aspect
    125. 

  125.                         markers and negatives may be used with that verb. In the following charts, a
