| Dec 24, 2018 at 6:23 | comment | added | Mahdi Mirafshar | In sentence "I like it here", the verb 'like' is a transitive verb which requires the object 'it'. | |
| Dec 24, 2018 at 6:23 | comment | added | Lorel C. | Not quite. You have subject-verb-object. Subject = "I"; Verb = "like"; Object = "it". ("It" is the 'empty' object that Mahdi Mirafshar described, meaning the conditions or situation.) So, "I like it." could be a complete sentence by itself, but you add the adverb "there" because you want to say where your sentence is happening: "I like it there." You need each of those 4 words to state the complete meaning.... Sorry if this has made it even more confusing. (I really am trying to help.) | |
