Note the verbs in the sentences:
I. In the evening arrived.
II. She does not he had patience.
Realize that in prayer I, the verb arrived it has complete meaning, that is, it is not necessary to say anything else for the fact that nightfall can be explained. In clause I, however, it is not possible to end the speech in the verb he had, because we would need other information to complete the meaning of the verb, right? So, when we have a verb whose meaning is complete, it is called intransitive verb, as it does not transmit its action to any other term. On the other hand, when we have a verb whose meaning is incomplete, it is called transitive verb, as there is a transmission of the verbal action to other sentence terms.
Thus, it is possible to define verbal transitivity like the transmission of the action of verbs, with incomplete meanings, to their complements.
Therefore, it is possible to classify the verbs according to their transitivity. They can be classified into:
direct transitive verb |
It is one that transmits its action to another clause directly, that is, without the aid of a preposition. |
Me bought the books. |
Indirect transitive verb |
It is the one who transmits his action to another sentence term by means of a preposition. |
Me I like of books. |
Direct and indirect transitive verb. |
It is the one that transmits its action to two clause terms, one without the use of the preposition and the other with the use of it. |
The teacher requested silence to students. (requested silence / requested to the students) |
intransitive verb |
It is one that does not transmit its action to other terms of the prayer, that is, it has a complete meaning. |
They They arrived. dawn. |
