B. Topic: Transitive and Intransitive Verbs
Content: Meaning and Usage
Verbs as action words can be used transitively or intransitively.
A transitive verb expresses an action which passes across to one or more persons or things. (Note that the word transitive’ originally came from the Latin word ‘transire’ which means “to pass across”). Transitive verbs take direct objects.
Examples:
Kanu kicked the ball
Subject T.V object
Olu and saka have many books.
Subject T. V object
All the boys have hoes.
Subject T.V object
An intransitive verb is used without any objects. Examples
Janes was singing.
S IV
The fish smelled.
S IV
The babies cried.
S IV
A dog barks.
S IV
A cock crows.
S IV
I eat everyday.
S IV ADV
The intransitive verbs which are called linking verbs include: set, lags, appear, feel, grow, look, prove, remain, seem, taste, smell, turn etc.
Intransitive verbs may be turned into a transitive verb if a preposition is used.
Examples:
She laughed at him.
I looked at the painting.
We talked about the film.
They wished for happiness.
I have asked for permission.
Evaluation: Write five sentences using transitive and intransitive verbs each.
