All. Transitive verbs, indicative, common nouns. It is difficult 

 to find the connectives of transitive verbs before the 

 object, because the order of words in the sentence 

 requires ordinarily that the subject shall follow the 

 predicate. The cases here given, except the first one, 

 contain the pronominal subject of the third person.
