Q

A transitive verb can be followed by an object.

If the object is removed, the verb no longer has meaning or no longer has the same meaning.

A transitive verb can be direct (accompanied by a direct object) or indirect (accompanied by an indirect object).

A

Un verbe transitif peut être suivi d’un complément d’objet.

Si on enlève le complément d’objet, le verbe n’a plus de sens ou plus le même sens.

Un verbe transitif peut être direct (accompagné d’un COD) ou indirect (accompagné d’un COI).

Q

An attributive verb is a verb that is constructed with an attribute of the subject.

A subject attribute is a word or group of words that gives a characteristic to the subject.

An attributive verb expresses a way of being or a state, but not an action like other verbs such as “to eat,” “to run,” or “to read.”

A

Un verbe attributif est un verbe qui se construit avec un attribut du sujet.

Un attribut du sujet est un mot ou un groupe de mots qui donne une caractéristique au sujet.

Un verbe attributif exprime une manière d’être
ou un état mais pas une action comme d’autres verbes tels que manger, courir ou lire.
