• Examples of sentences with transitive verbs

TheTransitive verbs They are the verbs that admit the presence of a direct object that complements the action described by the verb since they are actions that pray on an object other than the subject. For example: buy, eat.

It is a semantic classification of verbs that divides them into:

• Transitive verbs. They may have an associated direct object that complements them. For example: see, paint.
• Intransitive verbs. They cannot have an associated object because their meaning is given by themselves. For example: smile, dawn.
• Copulative verbs. They inevitably need the presence of a complementary object. For example: be, be, stay.

Unlike copulatives, which constitute a definite and constant list, verbs can be transitive or intransitive with respect to the context. Therefore, it is not possible to establish too large a list of transitive or intransitive verbs, since in certain circumstances the introduction of an associated direct object may appear necessary, even in the case of apparently intransitive verbs. For example: Let's eat. / Let's go eat fish.

In any case, it is common for certain verbs such as 'to look' or 'buy' to be recognized among the transitives, and others such as 'smile' or 'flee' as intransitive, the latter being actions that do not require a complementary object but rather take place In themselves.

It is necessary to emphasize the fact that what continues the transitive verb is always a direct object, the verb that is continued by a circumstantial complement, or by an indirect object, is not considered transitive. The condition is that it is a construction syntactically known as'subjective predicative not obligatory ' composed of a direct and identifiable object by means of the possibility of replacing it with the word ‘lo’, eventually in feminine and / or plural.
