I would like to know how to diffrentiate between the two. It seems like 
a chicken and egg problem. I wonder how can you choose a verb
without having a premonition of what object you want to apply it to.  If 
 I click a button called submit which is a verb that triggers some events
I have already made a decision on what object it is applicable to .I 
 would appreciate any insights.
