Transitive verbs and complementary transitive verbs are two important concepts in grammar
1. Definition and characteristics of transitive verbs.
Transitive verbs are verbs that require an object to fully express their meaning. The object is a mandatory component of transitive verbs, it can be a noun, pronoun, gerund, infinitive, etc. When using transitive verbs, you need to pay attention to the choice and collocation of objects to ensure that the sentence is grammatically correct and semantically clear. For example: eat, write, see, etc.
2. Definition and characteristics of complementary transitive verbs.
A complement verb is a verb that needs a complement in a sentence to fully express its meaning. Complements are a necessary component of complementary transitive verbs, which can be adjectives, nouns, adverbs, etc., which are used to supplement or describe the nature, result, state, etc. of the action. When using complementary verbs, you need to pay attention to the choice and collocation of complements to ensure the grammatical correctness and semantic integrity of the sentence. For example: make, call, keep, etc.
3. The difference between transitive verbs and complementary transitive verbs.
The difference between object and complement: the object of the transitive verb is its mandatory component and is used to accept the bearer of the action;The complement of the transitive verb is its mandatory component, which is used to supplement or describe the result, nature, state, etc. of the action.
Completeness of the action: The action of the transitive verb is complete, and only the object is needed to receive the action;Whereas, the action of the complementary transitive verb is incomplete, and the complement is needed to supplement or describe the result, nature, state, etc. of the action.
Sentence structure: The sentence structure of a transitive verb is usually "subject + transitive verb + object";Whereas, the sentence structure of a complementary transitive verb is usually "subject + complementary transitive verb + complement".
4. Examples of the use of transitive verbs and complementary transitive verbs.
Examples of transitive verbs:
i eat an apple every day.(I eat one apple a day.) ）
she writes a letter to her friend.(She writes a letter to her friend.) ）
he sees a dog in the park.(He saw a dog in the park.) ）
Examples of complementary transitive verbs:
the teacher made the students happy.(The teacher makes the students happy.) ）
we called him a genius.(We call him a genius.) ）
they kept the room clean.(They keep the room clean.) ）
It should be noted that some verbs can be both transitive and complementary, and their specific use depends on the semantic needs of the context. For example: le**e, it can be a transitive verb, such as:"i left my bag on the table."(I left my bag on the table.) ）；It can also be a complement transitive verb, such as:"that news left me shocked."(That news shocked me.) ）
