Transitive and in
transitive verbs
1.
Transitive verbs have a direct object(DO). A DO
is the nouns ang pronouns that receive this action of the verbs. For example ,
the verbs ‘love’ and ‘buy’ are
transitive because you love someone and you buy something
Example: I love(V(T)) you(DO) , They buy(V(T)) a car (DO)
2.
Intransitive verb do not have DO you cannot
put a nouns or pronouns directly after them. For example the verbs go
and die are intransitive because you cannot go something or die something.
Example: He went(V(IT)) to the hospital
before he died(V(IT))
However some verbs that can be
either taransitive or intransitive depending on their use in the particular
sentences
Example: He studied(V(T)) art(DO) , He studied(V(IT))
in Italy
Linking Verbs
Verbs come in all shapes and
sizes. Some show action and some do not. Some describe or rename the subject in
the sentence. Verbs that describe or rename the subject are called linking
verbs.
What are linking verbs?
Another way to define linking verbs
is that linking verbs do not express action but connect the subject and verb to
more information. Some words can function both as a linking verb and an action
verb as you will see in some of the sentences below.
Examples of linking verbs
• Michael
is a football fan.
Is isn’t something that Michael can
actually do. Instead, it connects the subject, Michael to more information
about him, that he really enjoys playing or watching the ball. So in this
sentence is is a linking verb.
• The
dogs are barking angrily at the cat.
Are isn’t something dogs can do. Are
connects the subject, dogs, to information about them, that they are mad at the
cat.
• Tomas
always feels tired when he stays up playing video games all night.
Feels connects the subject, Thomas,
to his state of being, tired.
• Learning
to speak a new language seems impossibly hard at first.
Seems connects the subject, a new
language, with something said about it, that it’s difficulty can be deceiving
at first.
There are other verbs that are known
as true linking verbs and they are as follows:
Any form of the verb be which
includes am, it, is, are, were, was, has been, are being, etc. Also, become and
seem are linking verbs. These verbs are called true linking verbs because they
are always linking verbs.
Then there are verbs that can be
linking verbs or action verbs. These include feel, look, remain, grow, appear,
smell, taste, turn, and sounds.
But how do you tell when these words
are being used as an action verb and when they are connecting the subject of
the verb to more information? It’s not as difficult as you may think.
One handy little trick is to see if
you can substitute is, and, or are and see if the sentence still makes sense.
If it does then you’re dealing with a linking verb. If it doesn’t make sense
after the substitution, then it’s an action verb. Here are a few examples of
this trick in action:
• Stella
tasted anchovy pizza for the first time.
Stella is anchovy pizza? Of course
not! So in this case, tasted is an action verb and expresses something Stella
is doing.
• The
anchovy pizza tasted delicious.
The anchovy pizza is delicious? Some
people think so! Sense tasted can be replaced with is, the verb tasted is a
linking verb in this sentence.
• I
smelled the cookies baking as soon as I walked in the door.
I am the cookies? Not me. Smell, in
this case is acting as an action verb.
• The
cookies smell divine.
The cookies are divine? Absolutely!
Have one! Smell is a linking verb in the above sentence.
• When
Karen felt the slimy fish, she dropped it immediately.
Karen is the slimy fish? Of course
not! Again, here we’re dealing with an action verb. Felt is something Karen is
doing.
Are you beginning to see how this
works? Just remember that linking verbs do not show action but describes or
renames the subject and gives us more information about it.
