Share and share. Features of verbs share and share

Did the verbs share and share can be considered as synonyms from each other? And more: with regard to transitivity, we can attribute it regency to such verbs?

To answer both questions, the article in question has the purpose of leaving you, dear user, a little more informed about one more fact that guides linguistic studies. To do so, let's start by answering the first of them:

Both verbs, now denoting the sense of “share from” they can be considered as synonyms. Here is the example that follows:

You and I will share our doubts.

You and I will share our doubts.

Now, what about conducting? Watch:

He sharethe fact to be valued by everyone.

Thus, we find that it is a direct transitive verb, whose complement is represented by the direct object: the fact of being valued by everyone.

It should be noted that such a verb (share) can only be direct transitive.

Let's look at these other examples with the verb to share:

He shared the necessary solidarity. (sense of dividing, distributing)

Like the verb "to share", "to share" can be classified as a direct transitive verb, whose complement is represented by “the necessary solidarity”.
