hi everyone this is Marc how are you today I'm doing great thanks for asking
my mother named me Marc - The American tourists found Rome
wonderful - She was made happy by her husband - in this lesson we're going to
talk about complex transitive verbs so stay tuned let me tell you first that
I've already talked about verbs in various occasions if you don't
understand what an indirect or a direct object is you may click here to watch
all those lessons however I'm going to review more or less what verbs can be
verbs can be transitive so they take an object intransitive they
take no object ditransitive or DItransitive
take two objects verbs can also appear with prepositional phrases as their
complement like hope for example and I gave you two examples I hope for the
weather to be nice in this case hope is intransitive or I hope to graduate early
in this case we have to graduate early is a prepositional phrase and hope in
this case is a transitive verb but that's another lesson then we have verbs
that can be phrasal verbs they can turn into a phrasal verb so a verb plus a
particle just like get along get off get on with etc if you wish to watch a
lesson on this you may click here and then we have the complex transitive
verbs complex transitive they look like they have two objects
but they actually act differently from Ditransitive or Ditransitive verbs
let me show you how my first example was my mother named me Marc in this case we
have the verb name then I ask you what's the object the object is me the object
of this sentence what about Marc then Marc is the object
complement so it's extra to me right so my mother
named who me Marc - let's look at another example they called her the boss they
called her the boss the object would be yes her and the boss would be the object
complement so they called her the boss if you add an adjective
they can also be the complement of the object right so for example the American
tourists found Rome wonderful what's the object Rome the object complement
wonderful another example they considered the man capable of doing the
job what's the object the man was the object complement capable so adjectives
so we have two adjectives here wonderful and capable that could be object
complement of a sentence the third point that I would like to
talk about is that these verbs can also be used in passive statements just like
my examples Sue was made happy by her husband in this case we have a passive
statement if you wanted to make that sentence into an active sentence we
would say her husband made Sue happy so what is the object of the sentence Sue
what is the object complement happy very good
so Sue is the object and happy is the object complement so Sue was
happy by her husband let's look at another example
the lady was declared guilty by the judge if you wanted to make that into an
active sentence the judge declared the lady guilty so what is the object of
that sentence yes the lady what about guilty what is guilty is the
object complement excellent so thank you very much for
