X ;£ Grammar M Transitivity Pairs Some verbs describe situations in which human beings act on things. 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. Transitive Intransitive open something m< ~& something opens has close something something closes Aft£> LA put something in USA something goes inside take something out n something goes out turn something on 0< something goes on as* turn something off; something goes off extinguish something mt zt> break something muz Zt) something breaks make somethingdirty something becomes dirty drop something something drops boil water 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). XL J XL S Takeshi turned the light on. The light went on. VP VP Takeshi boiled the water. The water boiled. Sgl 8PM i Transitive verbs describe activities, while intransitive verbs describe changes. They behave differently when they are followed by the helping verb X v ^ l>. Let us first recall that activity verbs (f£i~, for example) + X ^ £ refer to actions in progress, while change Ii« verbs (#£:&#i"£, for example) + "Cv^ refer to the states resulting from the change. it-si*.

Similarly, when followed by tV^I, transitive verbs refer to actions in progress, while intransitive verbs refer to states that hold after the change takes place. Robert is opening the windows.

The fe-form of a verb + L ^ i has two senses, which at first might appear rather incongruous. In its first sense, L £ 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. *»A,*eL3vvi lfZo ISA 1 I read the book completely./1 finished reading the book. The second sense of L 4 l 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 something which you did not intend to. 1 Since LI ^ goes with the verbal fe-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." ►56•äs» / 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 t £ i sentence may be ambiguous between the two senses. How a given L i. 1 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, ~XL£i and ~"CL3 l are often contracted to ~t>f> 1 and ~ U *J T , respectively. / lost my homework! The present tense short form of a predicate + £ means whenever the situation described by the predicate holds, another thing happens. In most £ sentences, the first clause describes the cause, and the second the effect. ht± 8fE lift If A 5 Whenever I talk with that person, I feel uplifted.
