And by the way can someone give me another example of an intransitive verb and how it's used as opposed to a transitive verb?

I'm writing a poem.
2006-10-24 16:07:31 · update #1
Hi Maus, In the context of a 'poem' you can use either expression. Depends on how it fits in your poem and if it still tells the story. Example:
Is it just you?
I trust you
So, I lust you
It's what I must do
To become you.
When you're writing it's your prerogative to write in the 'flow' that comes out of you. Don't sit and try to figure out the best way, just let it come out onto the paper the way you really feel it at the time. If it feels strange later, then you can edit it ;-) When I write a songpoem or short story, it usually comes out so fast I can barely keep up with it while writing it. Afterwords I have to read what I've just written just so I'll know...lol That's the way my muse inspires me I guess. Don't worry so much about this or that when writing; just write. Keep writing. The more you write, the more you'll have your own style. That style may inspire you to use 'I lust you' or it may inspire you to write 'I lust for you' but whichever, which one comes from your inspiration? What 'flow' are you feeling? Can you tell I couldn't sleep? LOL good luck :-)

Correct: I lust for you.
Definition: A verb that is used without a direct object, or a verb that does not need a direct object to express a complete thought.
Some verbs can be used only as a transitive verbs, but other verbs can be used both transitively and intransitively, depending on the meaning.
An example of a verb that can be either transitive or intransitive is "to study". In the sentence "Tomorrow I am going to study" the verb is intransitive; it indicates only the action without indicating the recipient of the action. But in the sentence "I studied the history books" the verb is used transitively.
Examples: Verbs in these sentences are typically used intransitively: The baby crawled toward the corner. He did not sleep for two days.

RE:
Which is correct - "I lust you", or "I lust for you"?

Use it with "for" - I lust for you.

Actually, with the term "lust", the expression would be "lust after".

The usual expression is "I lust AFTER you".
If you can use the word "something" after a verb, it is a transitive verb.
If not, it is an intransitive verb.
e.g. I eat my dinner at six o'clock. ('eat' is transitive, because you can eat something)
but, I laugh at his funny stories ('laugh' is intransitive, because you can't laugh something. You laugh AT something.)

I lust for you is correct.
Another example would be,
His son plays. (intransitive)
His son plays guitar. (transitive)
