50 Examples of Transitive Verbs (Explained)

Transitive verbs

The Transitive verbs 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:

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 it is possible that the introduction of an associated direct object appears necessary, even in the case of apparently verbs intransitive. For example: Let's eat. / Let's go eat fish.

Anyway, it is common for certain verbs such as '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 take place in themselves 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 a indirect object. The condition is that it is a construction syntactically known as'subjective predicative not mandatory ' composed of a direct and identifiable object by means of the possibility of replacing it with the word 'it', eventually in feminine and / or plural.
