The Transitive Verb
A transitive verb is a verb that will have an object.
Ok, so what is an object you say. Before we answer that relative question. A point to be made here, is that the definition of items are very necessary for a greater understanding; therefore, listen to your instructors when they say " Please define a Noun?"; They are asking for the definition of a Noun - What is a Noun - they're asking you to say with certainty.
An object is usually a noun or pronoun.... So, what is a Noun?...You look it up if you are not sure of your-self - ok.
Fatima took the car. In this sentence, "took" is the verb and "car' is the object; therefore, the verb took would be called a transitive verb in this sentence because it has an object which is "car".
A Transitive
verb is a verb that HAS AN OBJECT. Bob
hit ( whom?, What?) the ball. The ball is the object of
the verb “hit” in this sentence.
A Verbal – looks like a verb sounds like a verb, but is not a verb…. The three verbals are; the gerund, infinitive, and the participle. If a verbal starts a phrase then it will be called a verbal phrase by its correct name.
.Gerund ends with “ing” and acts like noun. Giving to the poor is fun. Running is fun.
Running in the race is fun.
Running is fun.
***********
•Infinitive: is “to” followed by a verb “to go , to run,to see
To run in the race is fun.
•Participle –ing, ed, d, t, n and acts like an adjective. Giving to the poor, Bob became a new man.
