Final Answer:
All sentences in Exercise 4 use intransitive verbs, so the “Transitive Verb” column remains empty (no transitive verbs), and the “Complement” column is filled with the rest of each sentence after the subject + intransitive verb.
But since the instruction says *“Write the basic pattern”* and notes that *“subject and intransitive verb always create complete sentences”*, the expected answer for Exercise 4 is simply identifying the
Subject and
Intransitive Verb for each sentence — no object or complement is needed.
However, Exercise 5 asks to fill a chart with
Transitive Verb and
Complement, but all given sentences contain *intransitive* verbs (none take a direct object), so:
-
Transitive Verb column: *blank* for all rows (since there are no transitive verbs).
-
Complement column: *blank* as well — because intransitive verbs don’t take complements like objects; any extra words (e.g., “in a hurry”, “into the sky”) are *adverbial modifiers*, not complements in this grammatical pattern context.
But wait — the worksheet says: *“Using the sentences in Exercise 4 complete the chart below.”* And the chart has two columns:
Transitive Verb and
Complement.
Since *every sentence in Exercise 4 uses an intransitive verb*, the correct completion is:
- For each row (11–20), leave
Transitive Verb blank.
- Leave
Complement blank too — because complements (direct objects, subject complements, etc.) only appear with *transitive* verbs or linking verbs, and none of these are linking verbs either (e.g., “left”, “erupted”, “studied”, “rose”, “worked”, “arrived”, “were standing”, “rolled”, “settled”, “studied” — all action verbs without objects or subject complements).
✔ So the final answer is:
All entries in both columns are
empty.
But since the question likely expects us to recognize that *there are no transitive verbs*, and thus the chart stays blank — the only correct response is:
Final Answer:
[All cells in the chart for Exercise 5 are left blank.]
