Transitive verb
In syntax, a transitive verb is a verb that requires both a subject and one or more objects. Some examples of sentences with transitive verbs:Kyle sees Adam. (Adam is the direct object of "sees")You lifted the bag. (bag is the direct object of "lifted")I punished you. (you is the direct object of "punished")I give you the book. (book is the direct object of "give" and "you" is the indirect object of "give") Those transitive verbs that are able to take both a direct object and an indirect object are called ditransitive; an example is the verb give above. Verbs that require a single object are called monotransitive. There are a few verbs that take on the tritransitive form, which requires four arguments as opposed to needing three for a ditransitive verb or just two for a transitive verb.
