Verbal Regency...Does this matter cause you any strangeness? If your answer was affirmative, don't worry, because in this meeting we will only address some notions basics, just so that you can assimilate, understand as best you can one more subject related to grammar. And know that it is as important as so many others we've studied, agreed?
Well, we would like you to first understand that verbal regency is characterized by the relationship established between VERBS and the complements that accompany it, right?
Complements can be represented by the direct object (without preposition) and by the indirect object (with preposition). Thus, understand that the same verb can appear accompanied by it (the preposition), how can it be described without the presence of our dear, who belongs to one of the grammatical classes, remember?
And the oblique pronouns, do you remember?
If not, remember that some of them, such as “o, a, os, as” can function as a direct object.
And as an indirect object? Who takes this place? Obviously it's the oblique pronoun “lhe”, isn't it?
So let's see two examples:
I saw him walking through the park. I saw who: “HE”, therefore, direct object.
I handed him the book. Who did I give the book to? TO HIM, therefore, indirect object.
Through everything we've talked about, you are now able to learn a little more about verbal regency, since some basic notions were remembered, do you agree?
So know that our studies do not stop here, as we will see about the use of prepositions in this important study: verbal regency, through the text "Use of prepositions in verbal regency”.
