    Demian Inostroza says:

    Very good lesson! I understand that terminology may be confusing and it's always useful to simplify it in order to teach something. Anyway, I think that the right term would be inergative verb: the one in which the subject of a intransitive looks like the object of a transitive sentence. Ergative seems to me more a type of aligment which requires case marking (erg for subject of transitive and absolutive for the rest). But I just coment to discuss about it: the lesson is perfect as it is!

    Wolfthunder25 says:

    At first I had no idea, I thought it was a class of verb that can fit into ergative alignment. So, briefly saying ergative verb is a verb which can act as a transitive or intransitive, depending in the environment in the sentence.

    It reminds me with mediopassive, somehow. Am I correct?

    Dear Ma'am
    In have there is no action how can it be transitive?
    For transitive verb there must be some action that passes to the object.
    So in this sentence. I have a pen.
    There is not any action going on.

    Dear Jennifer. I'm a big fan of your channel. Ergative verbs are verbs that are both transitive and intransitive. Just wonder if there is a name for words that are both adjectives and adverbs.
