I like it! Transitive and intransitive verbs

‘I like a lot!’ Hmmm …. is this really correct?

Or should it say ‘I like it a lot!’

In this video we will have a look at transitive and intransitive verbs. We will find out which of these need to have an object and we will read over several example sentences.

Here is the link to the online dictionary I recommend in the video: Cambridge Online Dictionary

    • Yes, that’s a good sentence. ‘Miss’ is a transitive verb and needs an object. So is the verb ‘call’, e.g. ‘He missed her company, so he called her.’ ‘He’ is the subject and ‘her’ is the object.

    • … and I like your sentences! Good work.
      Past tense of ‘kiss’ is ‘kissed’ (He kissed me last summer.)

    • Good try Maya! A better verb in the first sentence would be ‘baked’ or ‘made’.
      After ‘I can’t stand’ use -ing form.
