+35 EXAMPLES of sentences with TRANSITIVE verb

Sentences are mainly composed of a subject and a predicate. These two parts can be clearly identified by attending to the core of each one of them. In the case at hand, that of nominal predicates, the nucleus is always the verb. In this lesson from a TEACHER we want to define and give examples of sentences with transitive verb so that you can be clear about which ones they are to easily differentiate them from the intransitive ones.

First of all, before starting with the examples of sentences with intransitive verbs, it will be necessary to define what these verbs are and how we can identify them within the sentence.

Thus, we can point out that we find different types of verbs according to its syntactic behavior. If we look at this classification we can verify that there are two types of verbs, as are the transitives and intransitive.

The first of them, the transitive, are those that require the use of adirect complement in order to acquire a full meaning. That is, these verbs always need to be accompanied by an object on which the action of the verb falls. If this does not exist, the sentence is incomplete and devoid of meaning.

Likewise, transitive verbs also they need a subject that performs the action of the verb. Therefore, the transitive verb, in general, is always accompanied by a subject and a direct object in order to have the full meaning. On the other hand, another of its peculiarities is that they can be easily transformed into passive voice.

Therefore, if we pay attention to this classification and apply its particularities, we can point out that the vast majority of the verbs that we use to communicate are transitive.

As we have already pointed out, transitive verbs they are the ones we use the most and they are a great majority of those that we have present in our language. Next we are going to see some of them, in a list so that you can always have them available and you can easily use and identify them. Some of the intransitive verbs are:
