Directly transitive verbs without objects
Sometimes the objects of transitive verbs may be omitted. When this happens the object is still understood', but with a general or non-specific interpretation:
French | Translation |
---|---|
Clément boit | Clément drinks ('alcohol' understood) |
La vitesse tue | Speed kills ('people' understood) |
Gustave enseigne | Gustave teaches ('pupils' understood) |
Il ne sait pas conduire | He can't drive ('cars' understood) |
On attend | We're waiting ('for something to happen' understood) |
