Topic Content:

  • Verb Forms II

In our previous lesson, we discussed transitive and intransitive verbs as a way of preparing you for the lesson on verb forms. We noted that a transitive verb requires an object for its meaning to be understood while an intransitive verb does not require an object.

Examples:

SubjectVerb   Object
iHe killeda goat

The verb killed is transitive.

SubjectVerb   Object
iiShesmiled ——-

The verb smiled is intransitive.

We also noted that some verbs could be both transitive and intransitive

Examples:

i.    Mother cooked rice for lunch.

ii.   Mother cooked for the visitors.

Verb Forms:

Verb forms are otherwise known as active and passive voices.
