<strong>Week</strong> 1 <strong>Discussion</strong> 1 <strong>Transitive</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Intransitive</strong> <strong>Verbs</strong> -<strong>ASHFORD</strong> This is an excerpt from the website of U.S. shipping<br />

company, FedEx. Things you can do on the FedEx website: create a shipment, get rates <strong>and</strong> transit times, schedule a<br />

pickup, customize your delivery, order shipping supplies, pay your bills online, update your address book, file a claim on<br />

a package. All of the verbs are in the imperative mood. That is, they all look like directives or comm<strong>and</strong>s. Are they really<br />

directives or are they choices? What category of verbs are they (i.e., transitive or intransitive)? Are there any direct<br />

objects? Do you think that this type of verb usage is typical for menu items on a website? Why or why not? What<br />

supporting examples can you provide that help you make this argument? (To support or refute, its probably a good idea<br />

to locate other websites with menu lists.)<br />

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s)<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or other scholarly resources, <strong>and</strong> properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates posts by<br />

Day 7. Carefully review the <strong>Discussion</strong> Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this<br />

<strong>Discussion</strong> Thread.<br />
