Well ! if regular grammar is not clear for me , You really are ! Many thanks young lady in just 3 minutes You dissipated and clarified 50 years of linguistic obscurantism !
I'm trying to learn Tagalog and had no idea what a transitive or intransitive verb was in English! Nice explanation! Make sense finally... until I forget
Suddenly a verb goes from intransitive to transitive? Larry tripped. Intransitive Then, Larry tripped Alex? Transitive? Well, so much for a clear explanation!
My teacher played y'all once before and I go straight to comments to to comment how good you guys are really good says everyone in my 4th grade class keep it up 💚
None of your sentences contains a transitive verb. The first one has a linking verb followed by an adj. The second example has the same structure as the first. The third example doesn't have a noun that follows answering "who?" or "what?" (We tried the new recipe= recipe is transitive).The last example contains a helping verb and action verb with nothing to follow to receive the action.
@@yiruma80 the verb "are" is not an action verb. Only action verbs can be transitive. Think of how an action of something moves away from the subject and transfers the action to a receiving object. For example: I play a sport. The verb "play" is action. repeat the action verb and ask "play what?" The answer = one word reply "sports". Linking verbs don't transfer action; therefore they aren't "transitive". The linking verb is mostly followed by an adjective or noun that connects back to the subject to identify or describe it. Your sentence "They are Chinese" The subject of the sentence is the pronoun "They" which is followed by "are" which is a linking verb. Chinese is an adjective that connects back to the pronoun "they" to describe who they are. There is no action in the sentence; therefore, there is no "transitive" verb. Trans- means "across" or "beyond".
perfectly explained ^^ I have a question run also can be a transitive verb we say "he ran a project" the company here is the main object so in this case, some verbs accept both transitive and intransitive forms, am I right ? Thanks for the lovely video 🤩🤩
Been trying to get a grasp on it, this has got me closer than anything so far. It still seems like a strange distinction to make to me, at least for English.
If you don't mind, could I know whether you are an American teacher or not? Because I want to know what American curriculum is and how to teach it. And is there any good site which shows the American curriculum?
Thank you so much for this video! Although I do have one question that I would love for you to answer for me. So, if I have two (or more) verbs in the same position, what would that make the verb? Example: “Can do”. I’m guessing that would make the verb intransitive because they don’t have a noun/object to act on.(?)
Great brief and concise lesson!!!. I love it!!❤. I just have a question though.. . What do you mean by your acronym 'AV' in the middle of the video?????
My ONLINE CLASSES 'D BE EASIER, TH U SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO IT'S REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD. TH U
I don't know how to describe the feeling of sitting for a whole hour and not understanding the topic and sitting for 3 minutes and understanding the lesson.
Larry tripped over a rock sounds like a transitive because you ask the question what di he trip over and its clearly a rock. They bought equipment which you say is transitive doesnt seem to differ from the former example because in both you ask what and you get an answer.
(over a rock) is a prepositional phrase. You can't transfer action to a noun that is inside of a prepositional phrase. If Larry tripped his friend, then "friend" would receive the action of the verb since it is not inside of a prepositional phrase. Try to look for patterns where prepositional phrases immediately follow the action verb. Those will be your intransitive verbs.
Please clarify me one point, why the question needs to be who or what I think it should be whom or what. I know Who answers the subject, and whom answers the object.
You are actually correct! To be accurate, the question would be whom to get the answer for the object of the preposition. Whom isn't used as accurately as it should be, especially when asking questions.
it's quite confusing that English speaks of "[in]transitive verbs" as if that was a characteristics of a word found in a dictionary, whereas it's not that at all. Sure, some words may only / mostly be used either way, but whether transitive or intransitive relates to how the word is used, it's a form of use case / usage not a property to an entry in a dictionary. So, the question to ask isn't: What are [in]transitive verbs? but rather... When are verbs [used] [in]transitive[ly]?
When you have to put a preposition between the noun and the verb or if you can't put a noun then it's intransitive. If the noun and the verb are not getting separated by a preposition phrase, then it's transitive. A sentence will still be transitive if the noun and the verb are getting separated by an adjective. The same goes for adverbs
I have my students to memorize prepositions which in this case is the word "for." If you enclose all prepositions and their objects inside parentheses ( for him) then you will be able to identify the objects of the verbs outside of the parentheses.

There are many verbs that can be used as both :)

Over is a preposition
These are great videos! How come you've disabled comments in the one about double negatives?
excellent video
Very helpful. Thank you!
what about if i say: he sang a wonderful song. is it a transitive or complex transitive?
Please clarify me one point, why the question needs to be who or what I think it should be whom or what.
I know Who answers the subject, and whom answers the object.
You are actually correct! To be accurate, the question would be whom to get the answer for the object of the preposition. Whom isn't used as accurately as it should be, especially when asking questions.
Yes whom would be the best option but in nowadays’ English is acceptable to not use whom.
Thank you that helped in my test a lot

Really appreciate. This is very easy to understand. btw is there any differences between American English or British English in this topic?
There may be a possible difference in spelling or variation of vocabulary when referencing common nouns (vacation vs. holiday; soccer vs football)

I was having a hard time with this
So if a transitive verb is followed by a preposition it would ALWAYS become intransitive or there are special cases in which it doesn't?
