Editing Intransitive verb (section)

==Unaccusative and unergative verbs==
{{Main article|Unaccusative verb|Unergative verb}}
Especially in some languages, it makes sense to classify intransitive verbs as:
*''unaccusative'' when the subject is not an agent; that is, it does not actively initiate the action of the verb (e.g. "die", "fall").
**Unaccusative verbs are typically used to show action or movement.
***Examples:
****I '''arrived''' at the party around 8 o'clock.
****Do you know what time the plane '''departed'''?
****The disease '''spread''' to other towns.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://primus.arts.u-szeged.hu/bese/Chapter5/5.2.1.htm|title=Basic English Syntax with Exercised|last=Konzorcium|first=Bolcsesz|access-date=March 5, 2017}}</ref>
****I '''sat''' on the train.
****I was in a car accident and the other person '''appeared''' out of no where.
*''unergative'' when they have an agent subject.
**Examples:
***I am going to '''resign''' from my position at the bank.
***I have to '''run''' six miles in the morning.
***John '''ate'''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://web.mit.edu/norvin/www/24.902/unaccusatives.html|title=Unergatives and Unaccusatives}}</ref>

This distinction may in some cases be reflected in the grammar, where for instance different [[auxiliary verb]]s may be used for the two categories.
