Transitive takes a direct object (the thing being acted upon). Examples: Transitive verbs in a sentence  Kelly asks a question.  Toby buys groceries. do not act on someone or something and 2. Intransitive therefore do not take a direct object. an intransitive verb does not take a direct Examples: Intransitive verbs in a sentence object, it can be used along with an  Rita coughed. adverb or adverbial phrase (as can a  Rita coughed loudly. transitive verb).  Rita coughed on me!  Stative and dynamic verbs It’s all about the object: (also called action verbs) describe specific, temporary actions 1.

Examples: Dynamic verbs in a sentence  Amy kicks the ball.  Toby is running to school. describe a state of being or perception (e.g., “she is,” “it seems,” 2. Stative verbs “they belong”).

For example, the verb “kick” and the preposition “off” combine to form the phrasal verb “kick off,” which means “begin.” Examples: Phrasal verbs in a sentence  I’m going to move out next month. Gerunds & Infinitives  ‫‪04‬‬ ‫‪Adjectives‬‬ ‫الصفة‬ ‫بنت األسم‬ Comparative Adjectives  What are Comparative Adjectives?
