Question

what is cognative object and retained object in voice?
(english grammar )....explain it with an example​

Answer 1

hey mate !!!

A retained object is an object in a passive sentence that would also be the object in an active sentence.

Example:

She was given the job by the previous manager.

She was given the job by the previous manager.The previous manager gave her the job.

Explaination:

The job is the retained object. It was the direct object in the active sentence of the ditransitive verb gave and is still an object in the passive voice as the indirect object has become the subject of the sentence.

A cognate is a word that is similar in meaning and form to a word it is related to in another language. A cognate is not a loan word.

In linguistics, a cognate object (or cognate accusative) is a verb's object that is etymologically related to the verb. More specifically, the verb is one that is ordinarily intransitive (lacking any object), and the cognate object is simply the verb's noun form.

Example:

•He slept a troubled sleep. (He slept, and his sleep was troubled.)

•He laughed a bitter laugh. (He laughed bitterly.)

•He dreamed a strange dream. (He dreamed, and his dream was strange.)
