The document discusses complex-transitive verbs and their object complements. It provides examples of sentences using verbs like "find", "call", and "elect" followed by a direct object and an object complement.
Verb phrases are usually comprised of more than just one word. The action of a sentence will be composed of a main verb and supporting material. You must make the entire verb phrase clear for your sentence to make sense. Let’s take a close look at the complex forms that verbs can take. For example:
A selection of complex transitive verbs Table 4.9: The distributional properties of typical Predicative Complements Table 4.10: The distributional properties of PPCs Table 4.11: ... language—to give but one example of a common usage shibboleth—will be disappointed. The view taken here is that the English language is not a static entity,
A complex transitive verb (also known as an attributive ditransitive verb or a resultative verb) is a verb that needs both a direct object and an object complement. Complex transitive verbs may have two object s, but they function differently.
there is more to discuss in Chapter 6 – now called ‘More on Verbs: auxiliary VPs’ – but I’ve divided that chapter into two parts in what seems a fairly natural way. This gives teachers the option of spending two weeks on that material.
