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.
