Answer 1

In syntax, a transitive verb is a verb that requires both a subject and one or more objects. Some examples of sentences with transitive verbs:

Harry sees Adam. (Adam is the direct object of "sees")

You lifted the bag. (bag is the direct object of "lifted")

I punished you. (you is the direct object of "punished")

I give you the book. (book is the direct object of "give" and "you" is the non-prepositional indirect object of "give")
