Noun

1. {{lb|en|grammar}} A verb that is accompanied (either clearly or implicitly) by a [[direct object]] in the [[active voice]]. It links the action taken by the [[subject]] with the [[object]] upon which that action is taken. Consequently, transitive verbs can also be used in the [[passive voice]] when the direct object of the equivalent active-voice sentence becomes the subject.
