 TRANSITIVE VERB

A transitive verb is followed by a noun or noun phrase. A way to identify

a transitive verb is to invert the sentence, making it passive.
EXAMPLES:

• Heat expands metals.

• Metals expand on heating.

An intransitive verb is one that does not have a direct object. Intransitive
verbs may be followed by an adverb or end a sentence.
EXAMPLES:

• She laughed at the joke.

• They slept in the street.

• I worked all night.

 DITRANSITIVE VERB

prepositional phrase often led by to or for.

• The players gave their teammates high fives. /The players gave high fives to their
teammates.
• They awarded him a prize. / They awarded a prize to him.
• They brought him a pie. / They brought a pie to him.
 COPULAR VERB

Copular verbs can't be followed by an adverb or end a sentence,

but instead must be followed by a noun or adjective, whether in a
single word or phrase.
EXAMPLES:

• Her daughter was a writing tutor.

• The singers were very nervous.
• My house is down the street.
 ADVERB

An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or

qualifies an adjective, verb, or other relation of
place, time, circumstances, manner, cause, etc.

 ADVERB OF MANNER

Adverbs of manner tell us how, or in what manner, something was

carried out. They mostly modify verbs and can often be found at the end
of a clause.

EXAMPLES:
• He trimmed the white roses neatly.
• I combed my dog's fur carefully because it had lots of tangles.
• There's no reason why you can't discuss the topic with me calmly.
 ADVERB OF PLACE

Adverbs of place tell us more about where the verb took place.
These tend to pop up after the main verb or direct object of the
sentence.

EXAMPLES:
• In Ireland, there are thatched-roof cottages everywhere.
• Clearly, there aren't any leprechauns here.
• I was so beguiled, I drove into a ditch.
 ADVERB OF TIME

Adverbs of time detail when the verb took place. We usually see
these kinds of adverbs placed at the beginning or end of a
sentence.
EXAMPLES:

• Lately, you've been rude to everyone around.

• They recently relocated to Santa Fe.

• The morning newspaper arrives daily.

 ADVERB OF FREQUENCY

Adverbs of frequency let us know how often the verb occurs. Therefore
they mostly modify verbs. These adverbs tend to appear right before the
main verb in the sentence.

EXAMPLES:

• I always read a book before bed.

• Does he normally walk his dog at this time?

• She usually shops at the Korean market in town.
