Grammar
Intransitive or transitive
Hi,
What is the conclusion drawn from this thread?
Let me rewrite original poster's question.
The stimulus bill that passed was a thousand pages long. But we right here, Alex, are going to reduce it to a very, very short radio drama.
Is 'passed' considered an intrasitive use of the verb 'pass'?
I would appreciate it if someone could answer this.
p.s. My personal opinion is that there should be a 'be verb' right between the relative pronoun and 'passed', which means I'm not in favor of the claim that the verb here is used intransitively.
