For example, I open the door, you turn on the TV, and they break the computer. Such verbs are called "transitive verbs." Some other verbs describe changes that things or people undergo. For example, the door opens, the TV goes on, and the computer breaks down. These latter verbs are called "intransitive verbs." While most verbs are loners and do not have a counterpart of the opposite transitivity, some important verbs come in pairs. rmz> Ott« mt Transitive open something close something put something in take something out turn something on turn something off; extinguish something break something make somethingdirty drop something boil water f < A3 ttl> SS Intransitive something opens something closes something goes inside something goes out something goes on something goes off something breaks something becomes dirty something drops water boils Transitive verbs call for both the subject (agent) and the object (the thing that is worked on). Intransitive verbs call only for the subject (the thing or the person that goes through the change). Takeshi turned the light on. The light went on. tztf LU^-HWU ltz0 5 ltza Takeshi boiled the water. The water boiled. SS18HM Transitive verbs describe activities, while intransitive verbs describe changes. They behave differently when they are followed by the helping verb "C ^ ä. Let us first recall that activity verbs (M~f, for example) + X N Z refer to actions in progress, while change Hi verbs (##Ü"f 3, for example) + refer to the states resulting from the change. <; -> ^ a. X — QUX'ti-QS AsZtbLX^^&'to (activity, action in progress) Sue is talking on the phone with her mother right now. AT^ti Ü#££f Lt^it, (change, result state) L. tit a. I) ; /. Professor Yamashita is married. Similarly, when followed by X v §, transitive verbs refer to actions in progress, while intransitive verbs refer to states that hold after the change takes place. If h Robert is opening the windows. Tomoko is turning the light off. J', - i y There goes Godzilla, destroying the city. Doors are open.I There's an open door. TU\fiz:;n?tx^£~ro The TV set is off. zt, This computer is broken. The fc-form of a verb 4- L i n has two senses, which at first might appear rather incongruous. In its first sense, Li i indicates that one "carries out with determination" a plan described by the verb. It typically involves bringing something to a culmination point. You, in other words, do something completely, or finish doing something, or have something done. il/v I / read the book completely.!I finished reading the book. The second sense of L i i is "lack of premeditation or control over how things turn out." This often comes with the sense of regret; something regrettable happens, or you do i something which you did not intend to. 'Since LJ i goes with the verbal te-form, which is affirmative, it only gives us sentences meaning that something regrettable does or did happen. In other words, we cannot express with LI i negated ideas such as "regrettably, x did not take place" or "unfortunately, I did not do x." i) I inadvertently left my bag on the train. To my horror and sorrow, my professor got angry, because I had forgotten my homework. Both senses focus on the discrepancy between what we intend and what the world is like when it is left on its own. A Li i sentence may be ambiguous between the two senses. How a given L i ? sentence should be interpreted depends on the assumptions the speaker has when uttering it. For example, the "finished reading" sentence above can be read in the "regrettably" sense equally easily if you read the book although you had not planned to, or knowing that it was wrong but unable to resist the temptation. In speech, ~t LI i and ~tL I i are often contracted to —%>^n and ~U-t>n, respectively. U> / lost my homework! fc ------ fc--- L - L-- The present tense short form of a predicate + H means whenever the situation described by the predicate holds, another thing happens. In most t sentences, the first clause describes the cause, and the second the effect. t?fii UC lit HA, J Whenever I talk with that person, I feel uplifted. Whenever the streets are croioded, it takes longer to get there. clause A <£: clause BQ Whenever A happens, B happens too. (short, present) 911BSM s Sometimes, a H sentence describes a cause-effect relationship between specific events. //" Mary goes 6«cA~ home, we will be sad and lonely. While the clause that comes before £ is always in the present tense, the second clause can be in the present or in the past tense. WTzctz / was young, whenever ivinter arrived, I caught a cold. The event described by the second clause must follow the event described in the first half of the sentence. Thus it is wrong to say: Whenever I talk with that person, we go to a coffee shop. If you want an adjective idea in the second clause, it is usually expressed as a change. It is very common therefore to find in the second clause an <• ^-adjective base + < & 3, and a £-adjective base + \-t£% (see Lesson 10 for adjective + & £). Whenever fall arrives, trees turn red. Whenever night comes, the town becomes quiet. You can connect two verbs with to say that the two actions are performed at the same time. tj:¥h follows a verb stem. The second verb, which goes after can be in any form. / always study Japanese while listening to music. Takeshi is doing laundry singing a song. It is not easy to go to school working part-time. Note that the two verbs that flank b must be two actions performed by the same person. in other words, cannot describe an action performed while another person does something. l££ fr-o tzX"f means / wish I had done or / should have done something. You can use it to describe an alternative course of action you, to your great regret, did not take. / wish I had told her that I loved her. I should not have broken up with her. All verbs can regularly be turned into a t,XXfr-otz~X:ir sentence with no exception or irregularity. You form the (i'-form on the basis of the present tense short forms. Verbs in the affirmative: Drop the final -u and add -eba. (tabe-ru) -» (tabe-reba) n< (ik-u) -» hmt (ik-eba) <3 ■» , fctf^ilitXo mm* A. You finished doing the following things.
