Question

Greetings Could you please give any idea how to develop language structure from the grammar topic " Intransitive,  transitive and ditransitive verbs" using Corpora COCA source?

CalifJim · Accepted Answer

Intransitive verbs do not take objects.
Transitive verbs (i.e., monotransitive verbs) take one (direct) object.
Ditransitive verbs take two objects, a direct object and an indirect object.

The COCA corpus can be found through the following Google search:

I imagine you may have to open up that site, maybe register so you can use it, and learn how to use it. Maybe they have instructions at that site.

Other than that, I have no idea what you are trying to do, nor do I know what it means to "develop language structure". This sounds like an assignment, and if so, the best person to ask for help is your teacher.
