Transitive verb
From what I learned, the subject and verb are all you need to make a sentence. Does this apply to transitive verbs as well? Or must you have an object in that case?
Top answer
A sentence requires a complete thought. A transitive verb requires an object to complete the thought. It's not a complete sentence if you have a transitive verb without the object.
- A sentence requires a complete thought.
- A transitive verb requires an object to complete the thought.
- It's not a complete sentence if you have a transitive verb without the object.
- Things like "I kicked" or "She set" doesn't work at all.
- What did I kick?
