Sep 24, 2021 at 17:29 | comment | added | GJC | @Lambie monotransitive? Secondly, how about ...verbs so behaving? | |
Sep 24, 2021 at 16:57 | comment | added | Lambie | offer and promise are transitive verbs. and take direct objects. And, fyi, it's better to say: verbs behaving like this or like that or as these do. | |
Sep 23, 2021 at 21:20 | comment | added | GJC | @Lambie what's the linguistic term for verbs behaving as such? | |
Sep 23, 2021 at 19:17 | comment | added | Lambie | offered her to send and promised her to send are not grammatical in English. I offered her a drink. I promised her a rose garden. Rather than trying to catch out good references, concentrate on internalizing them. | |
