Thank you so much! This was very simple and easy to understand. Came here after trying to conquer the correct usage of "to lay" vs "to lie." It seems lay is mostly used in transitive situations (e.g.: The hens lay eggs.) Lie is mostly used in intransitive situations ( e.g.: The lions lie in wait.) Lay is to place something down, whereas lie is to relax or recline. I've got the conjugation down except for the past participles. It's a bit tricky! Lie becomes lay in past tense, and lain is the past participle of lie. E.g., The lions _lay_ in wait all day. vs. The hens _laid_ eggs yesterday morning. The lions _had lain_ in wait all day. vs. The hens _had laid_ eggs every day.
After a few years of studying french, I finally decided I should learn this. I hear verbs are transitive or intransitive a lot in books and lesson videos, and see this in the dictionary. Actually not as complicated as I thought for some reason.

"I am doing something directly *to* the hotdog." **SNORT** And just like that, I went from "respectful & judiciously enlightened 32yo Navy wife/mom" to "giggling & immature brace-faced 14yo little brat", with a mind so far *in* the gutter, it actually has to *pay the gutter* rent! 😜
30 days are left for exams is this correct sentence or 30 days to be left for exams or have only 30 days left for exams which is correct one among these
So, If the transitive verb transfers the action, how about ditransitive and complex transitive? Do ditransitive verb transfer action twice (to both objects, direct and indirect)? What about complex transitive? thanks
I'll give you a thumbs up....but only just! You over-talked the '3rd' section; Intransitive verbs??? Better to have two parallel columns labelled Transitive and Intransitive.
in Sentence (you promised to take us home.) verb is transitive or intransitive? Main verb is promised, (to take us home)is direct object?us or home is object? .plz explain
They bought new equipment.....Transitive Larry tripped over a rock..... intransitive When asked the question what you get an answer so why is it that the second example is intransitive?
No, some verbs always need an object. For example, 'find', 'look at', 'resemble'... I can't think of a grammatical sentence with one of those without an object.
Monhasser Guiabar "he hit me" means in the past. "he hits me" means in the present. "hit" doesn't changed its form from present to past/past participle, just like read, cut, hit and so on.
