What are di-transitive and monotransitive verbs?????
ReplyDeleteThe Ditransitive Verb is the verb that takes both a direct object and an indirect object.
DeleteEG: He gave her the letter. ('The letter' is the direct object , what he gave, and 'her' is the indirect object, the person he gave it to. This sentence can also be written 'He gave the letter to her'.)
A monotransitive verb is a verb that takes two arguments: a subject and a single direct object .
EG : The verbs buy, bite, break, and eat are monotransitive in English.
