Intransitive Verbs (IV)
HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE OTHER INFORMATION
AFTER THE VERB, SUCH AS ONE OR MORE
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES OR AN ADVERB.
Examples:

Houston.
IV PREPOSITIONAL
PHRASE
• I invited Angelica.
You cannot just say I invited because the sentence is incomplete. The person who is listening would probably ask
“Whom did you invite?” So we need an object (in this case a person) after the transitive verb invite.
• I cut my finger.
You cannot just say I cut because the sentence is incomplete. The person who is listening would probably ask “Cut
what?”
Cut is a transitive verb because you need to cut something (an object, a thing).
The additional word or words by which the predication is made complete are called the
COMPLEMENT.
(Infinitive)
1. Rivers flow.
2. Winds blow.
3. Horses run.
4. Birds fly.
5. All animals die.

PREDICATION
