Types of Transitive Verbs
As we know that Transitive verbs are of four types. These are classified according to the number and their usage. So let’s judge the types of transitive verbs in this section, along with the example of transitive verb and its usage.
1. Mono transitive Verbs
This type of transitive verb only needs one object to complete the meaning of the subject.
For instance: - “Mom cooks rice” – the verb is “cooks”, indicating the direct object “rice”.
2. Ditransitive Verb
This verb takes only two objects, that is, the direct and indirect objects. In the sentences, the indirect object usually indicates what or who is receiving the action.
For example: - “He gave him a watch” – the direct object is “watch” and the indirect object is “him”.
3. Complex Transitive Verb
This type of transitive verb requires an object complement and a direct object, which further modifies or describes the direct object.
For example: - “They elected him for The Chairman”. The direct object is “him”, and the object complement in this sentence is “Chairman”.
