This paper will present the argument structure of English verbs. The focus is on the relation between the lexical verb and its arguments in the verb phrase. The arguments can be positioned before and after the verb in the clause and therefore they create the pattern according to the constructional approach to the argument structure. However, if the focus is shifted from verb's patterns to the event represented by the action denoted by the verb to express the meaning, the concept of the construction has the important role in the argument realization. Furthemore, the aim of this paper is not only to present theoretical explanation of the argument structure, but also to use it by examining both the valency patterns of verbs such as make, think, dream, achieve, bake, dig, hit, kiss and the types of the constructions that these verbs are compatible with. The second objective of the examination of these verbs is to discover a better approach to the argument structure such as the projectionist or the constructional approach. For the examination of these verbs, the corpus enTenTen21, which was collected from October to November in 2021, is used. 100 sentences were randomly extracted and analysed from the corpus for each verb and the results are shown in the tables.
