   [FONT= ][FONT=Arial]Lesson 7, N+IV Sentences - I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream:[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT= ][FONT=Arial]This sentence pattern consists of a Subject Noun and an Intransitive Verb. We have explained Subject Nouns in other lessons, but have only touched on Intransitive Verbs. The name itself means it cannot carry action across the sentence from the Subject to an Object. That means that the action stops with the verb. [SIZE=2]Examples: I sleep. We think. My mother wonders. My father relaxes. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]The subject performs the action and generally is the only one affected by it. [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT= ][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]BUT, most sentences with Intransitive Verbs contain other words in addition to the subject and the verb. These extra words will either describe the subject more fully or tell when, where, why or how the action took place. Look at the following example.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]
   

   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]John sings. (This is complete and correct as it stands, but it does not tell us very much.)[/SIZE][/FONT]
   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]John sings every Sunday. (Now we know when John sings.)[/SIZE][/FONT]
   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]John sings every Sunday in church. (Now we know when and where John sings.)[/SIZE][/FONT]
   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]John sings with the choir every Sunday in church. (This gives us an idea of why he sings.)[/SIZE][/FONT]

   [FONT= ][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]These additional words certainly tell us more about John's singing, but they do not change the fact that the original, basic sentence is [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]John sings. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Here are some more examples.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]
   

   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]We swim. Fish jump. Most children laugh. Too many trucks crash. Authors write. Pythons swallow. [/SIZE][/FONT]

   [FONT= ][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]These examples include some verbs that can be both Intransitive and Transitive, depending on how they are used and what other elements are in the sentence. Notice the differences.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]
   

   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]We swim in the pool. (intransitive - no object to receive the action) We swim ten laps in the pool. (transitive - 'laps' tells us what we swim)[/SIZE][/FONT]
   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Authors write. (intransitive) Authors write novels. (transitive)[/SIZE][/FONT]
   • [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Pythons swallow. (intransitive) Pythons swallow their prey. (transitive)[/SIZE][/FONT]

   [FONT= ][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]With each of the Intransitive sentences, if we ask , "We swim what? Authors write what? Pythons swallow what?", there is no answer within the sentence[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]With the other sentences, if we ask, "We swim what?" the answer is right there - laps. "Authors write what? novels. Pythons swallow what? their prey." That is the way you determine if a verb is transitive or intransitive. A sentence with a transitive verb will provide an answer to the what/whom question, while a sentence with an intransitive verb can only answer "where?" or "when?" or "Why?" or "How?".[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]

   None of supports "ante upped".

   No it was not. In fact, "e-mail", as we know it now, didn't come into play until the '90's. Lots of people had versions of what one might call e-mail, but there was no e-mail system of the kind we use today.

   Yes there was you spectard. It has been established ITT that email was in widespread use before Totse.

   Took you long enough to pick up on that one, you one-potato-chip-short-of-a-full-bag-retard.

    The point is this, retard: ante, is a word upped, is a word ante-upped is the joining of these two words to form the conjunction There can be no debate.

    There are only seven coordinating conjunctions and 25 subcoordinating conjunctions in English. Coordinating Conjunctions : And Or But Nor So For Yet Subordinating Conjunctions: After Although As As If As Long As Because Before Even If Even Though If Once Provided Since So That That Though Till Unless Until What When Whenever Wherever Whether While Sorry Spectard, but I don't see ante upped in the list.

    I get kicked out when close my browser but that's because i don't keep cookies beyond sessions.

    I used it as a noun, you flat-faced queer. Pay attention.

    Are sure? Let's examine that shall we?

    They have a fake Lanny, too. This one is still a girl and hasn't ante upped yet.

    In your second sentence the noun is pronoun referenced in your first sentence with the proper noun Lanny. The action taken by the noun in the second sentence is "ante upped". You used it a verb you toothless alley dwelling meth dweeb.

    It's dumb ass, not dumnbass, you dumb ass. If you were on FidoNET, sure, but we are not talking about FidoNET or one single provider. Get your facts straight, n00b.

    We're talking about dial up BBS and the fact that email was widely in use on that platform by the time hunter started Totse. Echomail, netmail, and email all worked together you dumbass. Oh, and actually it's dum-bass. you dumbass. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/dumb-ass

    Just because you weren't aware of email then doesn't mean the sysops didnt offer it.

    If you're going to use ante as the verb, "upped" is the past participal of the verb, which is totally kosher. inb4udontscareme

    You ignorant moron you're the one who used ante as. a verb to start with when you attempted to say anted up by saying ante upped.
