A verb is transitive when its action passes from the subject of the action to the object. Intransitive verbs express a state, as "to live," "to sleep," or an action that does not go beyond the doer, as "to go," "to walk." Impersonal verbs are those which are only conjugated in the 3rd person singular, of all the tenses. Defective verbs are those only certain parts of which are in use, the rest having never existed in the language or having died out of it. Pronominal Verbs are verbs conjugated throughout with a double pronoun of the same person. Of course, Spanish has peculiar verbs which follow "ni rime ni raison" (neither rhyme nor reason). |
