How to identify the event verb to be coded:
Determine whether the sentence contains a codable event.
Identify all verbs within the sentence.
Determine which verb appears in the main clause; this verb will convey the main event activity of the sentence (note that implied and/or secondary verbs may exist within a single sentence but should not be substituted for or combined with the main verb event coding).
Code the event to the appropriate event category based upon the verb selected as the main action verb of the sentence.
