Sep 24, 2021 at 17:42 comment added Lambie No, it sounds more English to say: verbs behaving this way.
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.
