* Entail a [[direct object]] (which is in the [[accusative]], or, for a few verbs, [[instrumental]] case in non-negated sentences, and in the [[genitive]] case in negated sentences)<br />OR

{{lang|pl|Maria widzi Jana}} (Mary sees John; {{lang|pl|Jana}} is the accusative form of {{lang|pl|Jan}})<br>
{{lang|pl|Jan jest widziany przez Marię}} (John is seen by Mary)<br>
