        Classification of Verbs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Verbs can be classified by subject and object. Here’s an explanation of both.<\/p>\n

        1. By Subject<\/h2>\n

        Subject-based verbs are grouped into two categories, namely active verbs and passive verbs. Active verbs are types of verbs in which the subject does a job or becomes the main character in the sentence. The characteristics of active verbs are as follows.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Always Begins with the Suffix Me- or Predicate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Active verbs always start with the affix me- or the predicate. This addition is the difference between active sentences and other types of sentences. This also further strengthens the verb in the predicate.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • The Subject Always Takes Direct Action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Active verbs are usually used for sentences where the subject performs an action directly. This makes it easier for the reader to understand what the author is saying. This is because the delivery of messages carried out by the author can be more perfect without any different perceptions.<\/p>\n

            To understand more deeply about active verbs, you can listen to examples of active verbs in the following sentences.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Farhan ate<\/em> bread at home with gusto.<\/li>\n
            • Mother buys<\/em> vegetables at the market near the house.<\/li>\n
            • Great for playing computer games<\/em> late into the night.<\/li>\n
            • Dito brews<\/em> coffee in the morning.<\/li>\n
            • Joan plays<\/em> the piano in her room.<\/li>\n
            • I journaled<\/em> in a little padlocked notebook.<\/li>\n
            • Dita drives<\/em> a car at high speed on the highway.<\/li>\n
            • Fadli reads<\/em> Joko Pinurbo’s anthology of short stories.<\/li>\n
            • Rara practices<\/em> her monologue on the stage.<\/li>\n
            • Mom checks<\/em> my study results for one semester.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              The passive verb is a type of verb whose subject is subject to a job. Its function is to express the subject subject to action or deed. Passive verbs are recognized by verbs that start with di-, ke-, and ke-an affixes<\/p>\n

              In active verbs, di-, ke-, and ke-an affixes are usually added to the base word. This aims to distinguish between passive verbs and active verbs. Not only that, these affixes and cofixes also characterize or indicate if the subject is subject to work.<\/p>\n

              Friends, you can get to know more about passive verbs in sentences by listening to various examples that have been summarized from sources on the internet.<\/p>\n

                \n
              • The criminal was caught<\/em><\/li>\n
              • Brother’s bike is being repaired<\/em> in the repair shop.<\/li>\n
              • My brother invited<\/em> my father to go to the market.<\/li>\n
              • My sister told<\/em> my mother to take a broom.<\/li>\n
              • The room key is kept<\/em> in a shoe rack.<\/li>\n

                2. Based on Objects<\/h3>\n

                Object-based verbs are grouped into two categories, namely transitive verbs and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb is a verb that is followed by an object. This type of verb will not be an objective sentence without the presence of an object.<\/p>\n

                A transitive verb cannot be in the predicate position if it is not accompanied by a noun as the object after it. Transitive verbs can be changed into the passive form. To understand more about the use of transitive words in sentences. Buddy can listen to some examples that have been summarized from various sources on the internet.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • The police have arrested<\/em> the gang of criminals.<\/li>\n
                • I took<\/em><\/li>\n
                • You make<\/em> greeting cards.<\/li>\n
                • My father cooked<\/em> lodeh vegetables<\/li>\n
                • Sister sweeps<\/em> the floor<\/li>\n
                • Mom fixes<\/em> the fan.<\/li>\n
                • Mom bought<\/em> a new toy for my sister.<\/li>\n
                • Dad is taking<\/em> my sister to school.<\/li>\n
                • Aisyah is reading<\/em> Chairil Anwar’s poem in front of the audience.<\/li>\n
                • The teacher chose<\/em> Fahmi as the new class leader.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Meanwhile, intransitive verbs are verbs that do not need a complement in the sentence. The sentence becomes effective without complements in the form of adverbs and objects. Intransitive verbs can be recognized by several characteristics.<\/p>\n

                  Among them the object is not subject to action; cannot be used as a passive sentence; the predicate is an intransitive verb; generally in a sentence has the basic pattern of SP, SP-Pel, or SPK; and the predicate has the suffix ber-, ter-, ter-kan, and ber-kan.<\/p>\n

                  To understand more about intransitive verbs, you can listen to some examples which are summarized from various sources on the internet as follows.<\/p>\n
