Activity C6.1: A Transitive: 1, 2, 4 (passive), 5 (phrasal), 8, 9 (a relative clause), 10, 14, 16 (phrasal) Intransitive: 3, 6 (phrasal), 7, 12 (phrasal), 13, 15 11 could be either transitive or intransitive. In other words, on unleaded petrol can be interpreted as a prepositional object (What will they run on?) or an adverbial (How will they run?). See A8 for an explanation of the use of wh- words in identifying objects or other clause elements. See also C8 (‘Hidden verb patterns’) for cases such as relative clauses where the object may not be obvious. Note that run is quite commonly used as a phrasal verb (both transitive and intransi tive): run away / out (of ) / up. Overall, it is impossible to characterise run as principally a transitive or intransi tive verb. It has a whole range of meanings linked either to the transitive use (‘manage’, ‘operate’) or to the intransitive (‘last’). Note that, of the intransitive uses, none actually represents the ‘basic’ meaning of moving quickly using one’s legs. B Transitive: 1, 2*, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15 Intransitive: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 16 *: It refers to ‘a car’, the object of drive. If the sentence was It was fun to drive along the beach in our car then it would not refer to a car; this would be a case of extra position (see A11) and the verb would be intransitive. In all the intransitive lines ‘a car/vehicle’ could be inserted. This suggests that there is little difference between the transitive and intransitive forms. But the meta phorical transitive uses (lines 9, 14 and 15) do not correspond to any intransitive use. C Transitive: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12 Intransitive: 1, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14 All the intransitive lines could be characterised as reciprocal (we all met each other). |
