Hi Dan. Thank you but It's not always as simple as what you explained
There are verbs called ergative verbs, which I had problems to understand before.
There are also verbs that are used as complements after nouns or adjectives, which sometimes make me confused wether or not I have to add an object.
I hope that you explain these cases in detail in the future.
