Teachers and books in our country have taught me like this when explaining types of the verbs. There are 5 forms in English sentences. 1) Subject + Intransitive verb , For example, My wife sleeps. 2) Subject + Linking verb . For example, My wife is beautiful. 3] Subject + Transitive verb + Object, For example, My wife buys a wallet. 4] Subject + Dative verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object, For example, My wife gave me a new wallet. [Q1)In fact, I don't know the exact meaning of "dative". I couldn't find the words for "dative verb" in MSN. Every words related to "dative verbs" was German. As they have taught me it, Now I'm regarding as these verbs similar to that of "give" verb. What do I call for this kind of verbs in English ?...
