Measures
This board measures three feet.
I saw the above example in Wordsmyth online dictionary.
https://www.wordsmyth.net/?level=3&ent_l=measure&rid=25575
The word "measure" is used intransitivly.
I don't get it. Isn't "three feet" an object?
How do we confirm if something or someone is an object of the verb or not?
