*_@ PUDI BALAJI:_* Until they make one, if you *_make your self take the time to read the material,_* it will make sense. with more difficult concepts, give yourself time to learn. plus, look up other vids on clauses until you get it. that's what it takes. commit it to memory!
It is the noun or pronoun that comes after a linking verb. Ex: He was a monster. Monster is a predicate nominative because it's a noun after linking verb not actions verbs.
00:52 This one seems a bit weird to me, because suffering is kinda what the cat RECEIVES, not CAUSES. If we look at the cat as the CAUSE of suffering DONE to something else (the direct object), then the stroke would have to be the RECEIVER of the action, which is clearly not the case here :q To see that, try this: "My cat suffered the dog." Clearly this does not make any sense, because suffering is not something one DOES TO SOMEONE/SOMETHING ELSE (if it is, we use a different wording: "MADE HIM SUFFER", but that's a different scenario altogether). So what's the deal here? I think that "suffered" is still intransitive in the other example too, so it cannot take any direct object. The "a stroke" part is more like a complement, or something in these lines; something that tells us more about the kind of suffering the cat undergo (underwent? :q blah). Maybe if it were "My cat suffered FROM a stroke" I would be more comfortable with that?..
Hi, Bon Bon That's a great question. It made me think (and dig out my Collins dictionary). I can now confirm that 'to suffer' is a transitive verb (i.e., one that can take a direct object). In other words, a cat can suffer a stroke ("from" is not required), just as a person can suffer a heart attack or a defeat. Perhaps - from a teaching perspective - we should have chosen a better example. If the truth be known, the example made the cut because it was witty. Thanks again. (No cats were harmed in the making of this video.)
@@Grammar-Monster Yeah, it made me think as well, and I dug a bit deeper, in the etymology of that word "suffer", and it shed some light on that transitivity: turns out that the original meaning of "to suffer" was somewhat similar to "to bear something" or "to tolerate something", or "to allow something to be happening". For example, this one fragment from King James Bible may sound a bit strange nowadays: "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven" [Matthew 19:1] :)
Hi, Most sentences are like this: Something VERBs something. (Insert your own verb.) The first “something” is the subject. The second “something” is the direct object. That’s a good starting point. 👍
I'm homeschooled and she didn't explain so well so I had to watch vids and I don't like how u said Direct cuz like u say it weird but thx for helping I really appreciate that and now I can work in peace on my worksheet btw that girl who has a Spanish name whatever language it is but she spelled some things wrong maybe u should teach her how to talk not gonna lie😆😅😂

I am always confused of what the difference is between a predicate nominative and a direct object so I still don’t get it...
It is the noun or pronoun that comes after a linking verb. Ex: He was a monster. Monster is a predicate nominative because it's a noun after linking verb not actions verbs.

BIBLE VERSE YESSSSSSSSS
It can be both transitive and intransitive.
To suffer (from/with/for something): intransitive
To suffer something: transitive
