110. Transitive verbs
• Incorrect: Here is my cup; please fill.
• Correct: Here is my cup; please fill it.
• Incorrect: I enjoyed when I went to Paris.
• Correct: I enjoyed myself when I went to Paris.
All transitive verbs (e.g. fill, break, take and bring) must have an expressed object.
Some transitive verbs (e.g. give and lend) must have two objects.
• Incorrect: I asked for my book, but he didn't give me.
• Correct: I asked for my book, but he didn't give it to me.
(Here the pronouns it and me are the objects of the verb give.)
