Verb Phrases

A verb phrase describes how two entities are related. You can create two types of verb phrases:

• Parent-to-child verb phrase describes how the parent is related to the child. In the first example below, the verb phrase states that “A STORE rents A MOVIE.”
• Child-to-parent verb phrase describes how a child entity is related to a parent entity. In the second example below, the verb phrase states that “A MOVIE is rented from A STORE.”

  

  Note: You can enter parent and child verb phrases directly in the Diagram Window using on-diagram editing.
