Verb intransitive

Glossary

Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not have a direct object. Therefore verbs that take their object in the predicate nominative are intransitive. Most verbs in the passive tense will be intransitive. (There are a few exceptions). [ example: I stand. My name is Joe. “stand” and “is” are intransitive.]

The passive verb γεννᾶται is intransitive.
