As you already know, the verbal Regency is the link of the verb with its complement and can be established directly (without the aid of the intermediate preposition, when the complement is the direct object) or indirectly (with the help of the intermediate preposition, when the complement is a indirect object).
You've also probably learned that there are some cases in which verbs accept more than one rulership, which usually corresponds to a variation of the verb's meaning. In this text, we are going to analyze a verb that fits in this case of conducting diversity, the verb aspire. Thus:
when the verb aspire has the sense of "sip", "breathe", "suck", it is direct transitive and has adirect objectas a complement.
Examples:
we were pleased to aspirethe air of the mountains.
During cleaning, aspiredthe dustof the rugs.
when the verb aspire has the sense of "intending", "desiring", it is indirect transitive and has as a complement aindirect objectintroduced by prepositionThe (or by). In this case, the indirect object cannot be replaced by the
oblique pronounyou, but rather by “the (s)” and “the (s)”.
Examples:
All subscribers aspired àvacancyin the company.
The graduates aspired fursuccess professional.
