Transitive and Intransitive Verbs Exercises For Afrikaans Grammar
In Afrikaans grammar, transitive and intransitive verbs play a crucial role in sentence formation. Transitive verbs are those which require a direct object to give the action a purpose (e.g., “Ek *eet* (eat) ‘n appel” – I eat an apple), while intransitive verbs do not require a direct object (e.g., “Hy *slaap* (sleep)” – He sleeps). Understanding the nature of these verbs allows for clearer communication when learning Afrikaans. The following exercises aim to help you practice and become more familiar with transitive and intransitive verbs.
