Sleep In Vs Oversleep - The Difference - ESL British English Pronunciation

[inyazserg]

Alex, I`m interested in "intransitive". Please, do you have videos on them?

[iswearenglish]

@inyazserg

the only intransitive video I have is

youtube.com/watch?v=pjei7r6iVl­Q

@iswearenglish Nice surprise, thanks)

Do you mean that the same verbs may become transitive or intransitive when added or not the direct object? i.e. in an example below, "miss" may become transitive or intransitive, am I right there?:

1.I have missed the aim (V+direct object - the verb is TRANSITIVE).

2.I have missed (only V, without a direct object to it - the verb here is INTRANSITIVE).

If I`m right I`d like you to allow me to embed your video watch?v=pjei7r6iVlQ in my blog, please.

Please do embed to your heart's content.

You have understood the concept absolutely

but you miss a target not your aim

I aimed at the target transitive

I aimed intransitive

Thank you very much! That was the very question that I have been longing to ask you. +1500

Thanks. It's very subtle. I heard Americans never use "oversleep" that's why I ask.

[hatimnajjar]

I think oversleep is unintentional while "sleep in" is intentional.

[iswearenglish]

@hatimnajjar

correct
