Example of Sentences with Transitive Verbs

The verbs known as transitiveare those verbs whose action is likely to fall on a complement, in this case, it is the complement that we know as a direct object or direct complement, which can be identified because it answers the question what? Therefore, in these sentences we will have a verb that directly affects another segment of the sentence. For instance:

• "My grandmother (subject) had (transitive verb) five children (direct object) ”: the action of the transitive verb had falls on the direct object Five sons, which answers the question what did she have?
• “The eighth graders (subject) tomorrow will deliver (transitive verb) his final works (direct object) ”: the action of the transitive verb deliver directly affects the plugin his final works, In other words, it is what will be delivered.

When the transitive verb is the core of the predicate, that is, the main verb that is the action performed by the subject, then is about transitive sentences.

In addition, it is important to take into account what intransitive verbs are to differentiate them from transitive ones;

intransitives do not express actions that may fall on an object, but the actions work by themselves, for example, verbs rain, cry, hail, etc.
