What are ditransitive verbs?
Ditransitive verbs are action verbs that are followed by two objects: the direct object and the indirect object. The indirect object comes right after the ditransitive verb and just before the direct object. A transitive verb just has a direct object, but a ditransitive verb has both the direct and the indirect object.
The meaning of a ditransitive verb can be understood by breaking it into two parts: Di and Transitive.
- Di = two
- Transitive = that has an object
