Do these sentences have objects? If so, what are they?

3. I arrived in Winnipeg during the winter.
4. I sat at the back of the class.

4. I sat at the back of the class.
“Borrow” and “give” are verbs that need objects (transitive verbs). “Arrive”
and “sat” are verbs that don’t need objects (intransitive verbs). Want to
check whether a verb is transitive or intransitive?

Two people are waiting at the same bus stop. They see each other
everyday and so today they decide to make small talk.
Which conversation is polite and which is impolite?
27
Conversation 1
Kasmeer: Hi, I’m Kasmeer. What’s your name?
Shumaila: I’m Shumaila. How much do you
make?
Kasmeer: Oh! You mean how much money? I’d
rather not say. How old are you?
Shumaila: Excuse me, but what’s none of your
business. Who did you vote for in the last
election?
Kasmeer: I’m not going to tell you that! It’s
personal!
Shumaila: Goodbye!
Conversation 2
Kasmeer: Hi, I’m Kasmeer. What’s your name?
Shumaila: I’m Shumaila. How’s your day going so
far?
Kasmeer: Oh, it’s been pretty quiet so far. Did you
watch the Jets game last night?
Shumaila: Sorry, but I don’t know much about
hockey. Was it a good game?
Kasmeer: Yes! But I don’t want to bore you! What
do you do?
Shumaila: I’m a doctor, and I’m going to the
clinic now. How about yourself?
Kasmeer: I’m an architect. It was nice talking to
you!
Shumaila: You too! Have a nice day!

28
Change the impolite question into a polite one.
example
1 Are you rich?
What do you do for a living?
What’s your job?
2 Can you give me a job?
Interesting! I’m also a teacher. Can you tell me about working in Winnipeg?
