Please check and see if I answered correctly. Have to identify the verb and tell if intransitive or transitive
1. In China people eat the tender shoots as a vegetable.
2. The Japanese also make flutes from the stems.
3. In some countries, bamboo cages hold animals.
1.eat=transitive cause it ask eat
what=the tender shoots
2. make=transitive (make what=flutes)
3. hold=transitive (hold what=animals)
Yay! You've got it! :-)
Thank you very much.
You're very welcome.
To identify the verb and determine if it is transitive or intransitive, we need to analyze the sentence structure and the relationships between the words. Here's the breakdown for each sentence:
1. In China, people eat the tender shoots as a vegetable.
- Verb: eat
- Transitivity: This verb is transitive because it has a direct object, which is "the tender shoots." This means that the verb requires an object to complete its meaning.
2. The Japanese also make flutes from the stems.
- Verb: make
- Transitivity: This verb is transitive because it has a direct object, which is "flutes." Again, the verb requires an object to complete its meaning.
3. In some countries, bamboo cages hold animals.
- Verb: hold
- Transitivity: This verb is also transitive because it has a direct object, which is "animals." As before, the verb requires an object to complete its meaning.
Based on your explanations, you correctly identified all three verbs and their transitivity! Well done!
