1. SIMILARITIES: Having a direct object, transferring action.

DIFFERENCES:
- Transitive verbs: are verbs that require a noun, noun phrase or pronoun to follow to
modify it. This noun, noun phrase or pronoun acts as a direct object of the verb.
( e.g: I like bananas.)
- Intensive verbs: are verbs that require a complement, which can be a noun phrase,
adjective, or preposition. These phrases directly modify the subject of the sentence.
( e.g: I am a teacher.)
2. SIMILARITIES: Having 2 objects.
DIFFERENCES:
- Ditransitive verbs: are verbs that require two objects, one direct object and one
indirect object. ( e.g: Sam gave me a book.)
- Complex verbs: are verbs that require an object and an object-predicative to follow.
The object predicative can be a noun (phrase), an adjective, or a preposition. (e.g: I
put the book on the table.)
3. Yes, intransitive verbs can take prepositional phrases. These phrases provide additional
information about the action, time, location, manner, or reason, but they are not direct
objects. (e.g: I lived in Ha Noi for many years – Ha Noi is a prepositional phrase specifying
location).
