So a tempting generalization for a child, for an adult, for a computer is that any verb that can appear in the construction, "subject-verb-thing-to-a-recipient" can also be expressed as "subject-verb-recipient-thing."
Så en fristende generalisering for et barn, for en voksen, for en datamaskin er at ethvert verb som kan brukes i konstruksjonen, "subjekt-verb-ting-til-en-mottaker" også kan uttrykkes "subjekt-verb-mottaker-ting."
