Answer:
TRANSITIVE VERBS
Transitive verbs require an object to complete their meaning.
Imagine that I say:
I bought.
This sentence is incomplete. There is information that is missing.
You are probably wondering what I bought. (What did you buy Rob?)
Why is this sentence incomplete?
Because BOUGHT (the past of buy) is a transitive verb and a transitive verb needs an object after it to complete the sentence. The object after a transitive verb can be a noun or a pronoun.
I bought a car.
Now the sentence is complete and we can understand it. We added the object “a car” after the verb.
Let’s look at some other examples.
If someone says:
She likes. (incomplete - incorrect)
You probably think … She likes WHAT? (What does she like?)
Like is a transitive verb so we need an object after the verb.
She likes chocolate.
Now we know what she likes so this sentence is complete and correct.
I invited Angelica.
You cannot just say I invited because the sentence is incomplete. The person who is listening would probably ask “Whom did you invite?” So we need an object (in this case a person) after the transitive verb invite.
I cut my finger.
You cannot just say I cut because the sentence is incomplete. The person who is listening would probably ask “Cut what?”
Cut is a transitive verb because you need to cut something (an object, a thing).
The man stole a bike.
