happy to not help - I am at transitive verbs in my book as well.

vt: action verbs where an object receives that action: e.g. put (hats on the babies)

vi: action verbs but no object receives that action: e.g. ran quickly

infinitive phrases in both?: like to put; ran to reach

so the difference is vt vs. vi? huh? hah? how far off am I.

far off. now I am confused. you mean that the dying man who is reached is the same sort of object as the babies? putting x on y and reaching y? or... nevermind. this is 5 levels above my brain.
