The above examples of verbs illustrate two other kinds of verb: [[ergative verb|ergative]] and normal verbs. Unlike in the discussion of [[noun case]]s, ergative verbs refer to events that take place within or are directed towards the verb's subject - that is, the instrument of the verb is the subject. The verb "sees" in the second example is one such verb, as are "to think" and "to believe". They often take complementizers. The normal type of verb indicates that an action is exercised against the verb's subject; these verbs often require an object in order to be grammatical. "Lifted" above is one example of such a verb; an English speaker would be put off by an adult saying "I lifted" - the instinctive reaction is "You lifted what?".
