The document discusses different types of verbs in English grammar. It defines verbs as words that describe actions or states of being. It distinguishes between action verbs and stative verbs, with stative verbs describing states rather than actions. The document also categorizes verbs into transitive verbs, which involve an object receiving the action, and intransitive verbs, which do not. Examples are provided for each verb category to illustrate the differences.

- 20. Further,Further, We also need to look atWe also need to look at Transitive VerbsTransitive Verbs Transitive VerbsTransitive Verbs
- 21. Transitive VerbsTransitive Verbs • express an action directed toward a person, a place, a thing, or an idea (a.k.a., nouns) • The action passes from the doer (the subject) to the receiver of the action. • The words that receive the action of transitive verbs direct objects always nouns • Transitive verbs can only be action verbs. Linking verbs are NEVER transitive.
- 22. Transitive Verbs: ExamplesTransitive Verbs: Examples • Derrick greeted the visitors. – Derrick greeted whom? The action (greeted) passes from the subject (Derrick) to the object (visitors). • When will Felicia paint her room? – Felicia will paint what? The action (will paint) passes from the subject (Felicia) to the object (room).
- 23. Intransitive VerbsIntransitive Verbs • express action or tell something about the subject without the action passing to a receiver, or object • Intransitive verbs may be either action or linking verbs.
- 24. Intransitive Verbs: ExamplesIntransitive Verbs: Examples • The train stopped. – The train stopped what? There is nothing in the sentence to say what the train stopped (i.e., there is no object). There is no transfer of action. • Last night we ate on the patio. – We ate what? There is nothing in the sentence to say what we ate (i.e., there is no object). We did not eat some “on the patio.” This is a prepositional phrase telling where we ate, not what. There is no transfer of action.
- 25. Transitive or Intransitive?Transitive or Intransitive? • The children play checkers. –The children play WHAT? “Checkers” is a noun telling what they play, so “play” is transitive. • The children play quietly. –The children play WHAT? “Quietly” is not a noun and it is not what they play (it is how they play), so “play” is intransitive.
- 26. Label the subjects and verbs in these sentences. Tell whether the verbs are transitive or intransitive. • Melanie ate a baked potato. • Hector and Tom are reading. • They painted the house. • Did you carry his suitcase? • My plant grows quickly.
