Pengertian Complex Transitive Verb
Complex transitive verb adalah verb (kata kerja) yang membutuhkan direct object dan object complement. Di dalam konstruksi complex-transitive, object complement yang dapat berupa noun (kata benda), pronoun (kata ganti), atau adjective (kata sifat) berfungsi mendeskripsikan sifat, ciri, atau atribut direct object.
Rumus Konstruksi Complex-Transitive (SVOC):
| S + complex transitive verb + direct object + object complement |
