Q

What is a transitive verb?

A

It is a verb that takes a direct object; by naming an object that will recieve the action of the verb. This direct object is a noun or noun equivalent (pronoun or infinitive).

A transitive verb will sound incomplete without a direct object for example: Yo voy (I’m going) requires more for the sentence to make sense.

133
Q

What is an intransitive verb?

A

It is a verb that expresses a complete idea without a receiver of the action. The verb denotes the motion of the subject rather than the action that it performs on an object.

An intransitive verb such as Comino does not reequire a direct object to make sense by itself. Saying I walk, doesn’t demand a location.

134
Q

How are intransitive verbs linked with nouns?

A

With prepositions which sit before a noun or pronoun to show its relationship to another word in the sentence. (describes anywhere a mouse can go). In, on around…

135
Q

How are persons and things distingushed as direct objects?

A

A direct object referring to a definite person is preceded by an “a” This “a” is not a true preposition but merley a sign of the personal direct object.

136
Q

When using the word quién how do you determine if an “a” should proceed it?

A

Quién asks for a subject who performs an action and a quién asks for a direct object who receives the action.

137
Q

What are the four rules of object pronouns?

A

1) They follow and are attached to infinitives
2) They come immediatley before personal verb forms (this is convention when responding to someone regarding a direct object-I think)
3) Their position is optional in verb phrases that have both a personal form and an infinitive.
4) No precedes object pronouns
