break,
burn, empty, increase, open, shut, spoil.
Some transitive verbs can have their objects left out when the meaning is clear from the context:
• He has
smoked (cigarettes)
since he was 10. • She plays
(the saxophone)
beautifully.
Other verbs like this include
answer, ask, cook, dance, drink, eat, fail, phone, read, sing, wash,
win, write.
After some verbs we typically or always add a
completion -
a phrase which completes the
meaning of the verb - which can be an adverb or prepositional phrase. Compare:
• He
paused
for a few moments. or
• He
(no completion needed)
• The disease
originated
in
(not
The disease originated.) (completion needed)
Some verbs which are typically or always followed by a completion are intransitive in their most
common meanings:
• I'm sure that blue car
