LESSON 74.
CLASSES OF VERBS.
+Hints for Oral Instruction+.--_The man caught_ makes no complete
assertion, and is not a sentence. If I add the object complement _fish_, I
complete the assertion and form a sentence--_The man caught fish_. The
action expressed by _caught_ passes over from the man to the fish.
_Transitive_ means _passing over_, and so all those verbs that express an
action that passes over from a doer to something which receives, are called
+Transitive verbs+.
