 From
YOUR Teacher: Transitive
Verbs
This is a pretty easy concept in English grammar. To
find the object of the transitive verb simply ask a
question.
In the sentence "She drinks coffee", the question would
be "She drinks what?" and the answer would be coffee. In
this case coffee would be the object and drinks would be the transitive verb. |

At the Post Office
POSTAL CLERK: What can I do for you today?
CAROL: I need to mail this package to New
York, please.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, let’s see how much it
weighs … it’s about five pounds. If you send it express, it will get there
tomorrow. Or you can send it priority and it will get there by Saturday.
CAROL: Saturday is fine. How much will
that be?
POSTAL CLERK: $11.35 [eleven thirty-five].
Do you need anything else?
CAROL: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I need a
book of stamps, too.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, your total comes to
$20.35 [twenty dollars and thirty-five cents]. |

Conversation Notes |
- What can I do for you today? Notice that this question
starts with “What,” so the intonation drops at the end of the question.
- Or you can send it priority … Notice the stress on “or,”
which emphasizes that there is another possibility.
- $11.35 ... $20.35 Notice the two different ways the
postal clerk says the price. First he says eleven thirty-five (without the
words dollars and cents), then he says twenty dollars and thirty-five cents.
- Oh, yeah! is an expression used here to mean “I just
remembered something.” It’s often followed by “I almost forgot.”
- Your total comes to … is a way of saying “the cost is
….”
