		A verb is a part of speech that shows action or a state of being.
		transitive or intransitive, that is, they may take a direct object or they may not.

	Verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action ("bring", "read"), occurrence ("decompose", "glitter"), or a state of being ("exist", "stand").
		A similar type of impersonal verb, the weather verb, exists in English, but its non-pro-drop nature requires that a dummy pronoun be used.
		A copula is a word that is used to describe its subject, or to equate or liken the subject with its predicate.

	Transitive verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Verbs that don't require an object are called intransitive, for example the verb to sleep.
		Verbs that can be used in a transitive or intransitive way are called ambitransitive; an example is the verb eat, since the sentences I am eating (with an intransitive form) and I am eating an apple (with a transitive form that has an apple as the object) are both grammatical.
		However, the definition of transitive verbs as those which have one object is not universal and is not used in grammars of many languages.

	Transitive verb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In grammar, a transitive verb is a verb that takes both a subject and an object.
		The normal type of verb indicates that an action is exercised against the verb's subject; these verbs often require an object in order to be grammatical.
		There are languages which distinguish verbs based on their ergativity and/or their transitivity, which suggests that these are salient linguistic features.

	Greek/English Grammatical Terms
		A verb whose form does not change based upon any noun in the sentence and thus cannot function as the main verb in the predicate of a sentence.
		A transitive verb is a verb that 'transfers' the action to and affects a noun (or substantive).
		An intransitive verb is a verb that does not transfer action to a noun (a direct object).

	Identifying Transitive Verbs
		If it does, then the verb is transitive and the person or thing that receives its action is the direct object.
		Presumably a judge sentence the man; therefore, THE JUDGE is the subject, GAVE is the verb and the MAN is the object.
		Whether written in the passive voice or corrected for a stronger sentence, the verb is transitive.

	Passive
		A transitive verb is a verb that is followed by a direct object or an indirect object and a direct object.
		An intransitive verb is a verb that is not followed by a direct object or an indirect object or a subject complement.
		A linking verb is a verb that is followed by a subject complement (or a required adverbial).

		The verb "ख़रीदना", "to buy" is trasitive since it has the direct object "कार;", "car." The postposition "ने" comes right after the subject and changes लड़का into लड़के.
		Transitive verbs are verbs which have a direct object.
		The past perfect form of a transitive verb (used in the simple past, present perfect, and past perfect tenses) needs a ने right after the subject.

		An intransitive verb is a verb that does not have a direct object and usually shows motion or inactivity.
		Remember that verbs that are transitive are formed in passato prossimo by using the present form of "AVERE" + past participle of the verb ending in "-o".
		Remember that verbs that are INtransitive are formed in passato prossimo by using the present form of "ESSERE " + past participle of the verb ending in either "-a/-o/-i/-e" depending on the gender and number of the subject.

	Transitive, Intransitive, and Linking Verbs :: An Introduction
		So in one sense, we can say that all verbs in English can be divided into two groups -- those that must have a word (or words) after them and words that do not have to have any word after them.
		The third verb, is, has a noun (doctor) after it, but in its grammatical function, it's different from the noun (glass) that comes after broke.
		And the verb is that is between sister and doctor serves to connect the two nouns (sister and doctor).

	A new resource and methodological considerations on verb subcategorization biases
		Verb transitivity biases, and verb subcategorization probabilities generally, play an important role in models of sentence processing.
		By the "absolute" criterion, a verb is considered highly transitive if the proportion of transitive uses exceeds some pre-determined cut-off point, say 50%.
		Adjectival passives are frequently counted as transitive verb occurrences in available norming studies (e.g., Lalami, 2000; Lapata et al., to appear), partly because form-based automatic extraction methods are unable to distinguish adjectival and true passives.

	vti1: transitive vs. intransitive
		Transitive verbs by definition have an object, either a direct object or an indirect object.
		Thus, verbs that are transitive in English are also transitive in French, and verbs that are intransitive in French are also intransitive in English.
		There are several cases where a verb which may be transitive or intransitive in English must be translated by two different verbs in French: 'to return' (retourner, rendre), 'to leave' (partir, laisser, quitter).

		Finally, whereas the AF verb in Tz'utujil cross-references a local (1st/2nd person) argument irrespective of its semantic role (Dayley 1985), the distribution of the AF verb in Tzotzil is sensitive to the obviation status of the agent and patient (Aissen 1999).
		1 Relevant aspects of Yucatec Mayan morphosyntax YM is a head-marking language: in transitive clauses, the transitive A is cross-referenced on the verbal predicate with a preverbal clitic and the transitive O is cross-referenced by a suffix.
		I assume that the AF verb is an additional transitive voice besides the transitive active (TA) voice: the two voices differ in the constraints imposed on the arguments of the predicate.

		The complexity of the transitive structure of a language such as Japanese, with its myriad patterns of transitive and intransitive verb pairs, seeming inconsistencies between syntactic marking and verbal form, and apparently language-specific preference for intransitive modes of expression in contrast to English, did much to reinforce that impression.
		On the other hand, there are verbs that show only one variant: sagasu ‘look for,’ as in John-ga saihu-o sagasita ‘John looked for his wallet’ is a transitive verb and does not have an intransitive variant; while hasiru ‘run,’ as in John-ga hasitta ‘John ran,’ is exclusively intransitive.
		She reports that verbs whose meaning focuses on the resulting state of an event tend to show doublets while verbs that denote the process of an action are predisposed to allow for one variant.

	Remember how to find the subject of a sentence
		A transitive verb is a verb that is followed by an object.
		In fact, many transitive verbs, such as "send", "mail", and "comb", must be followed by an object.
		An intransitive verb is a verb that is NOT followed by an object.

	Intensional Transitive Verbs
		A verb is transitive iff it usually occurs with a direct object, and in such occurrences it is said to occur transitively.
		Thus ‘ate’ occurs transitively in ‘I ate the meat and left the vegetables’, but not in ‘I ate then left’ (perhaps it is not the same verb ‘left’ in these two examples, but it seems to be the same ‘ate’).
		Depiction verbs, such as ‘draw’, ‘sculpt’, and ‘imagine’, resist substitution in their syntactic objects, at least if the clausal ‘imagine’ does: if imagining that Superman rescues you is not the same thing as imagining that Clark Kent rescues you, it is hard to see why imagining Superman would be the same thing as imagining Clark.

		Although a verb has several forms, all forms of a verb are built upon three principal parts: the present, the past, the past participle.
		A verb that is not transitive (that has no receiver or objective) is intransitive.
		The word remained is the equivalent of the past tense of the verb to be, as in the sentence, "The audience was silent throughout the performance." The word silent simply modifies the subject audience.

		The intransitive verb "arrived" takes no direct object, and the noun phrase "four hours late" acts as an adverb describing when the train arrived.

		In this sentence "moves" is used as a transitive verb and takes the noun phrase "all the boxes and trunk" as a direct object.
