Transitive/intransitive verbs
Verbs that can or must have an accusative object are called transitive verbs.
| Examples | |
| the verb must have an accusative object | Paul braucht Geld. |
| Sandra liebt ihre Kinder sehr. | |
| Er schenkt ihr Blumen. | |
| the verb can have an accusative object* | Monika isst (eine Pizza). |
| Sie singt (ein deutsches Lied). | |
| Hast du schon (die Rechnung) bezahlt? |
* There are many transitive verbs that can form a comprehensive sentence without an accusative object.
