Factitive verbs imply an action that results in creation or transformation.

Creating Action

The emphasis is often on the result rather than the process of the action.

Result Focus

Factitive often carries a sense of actively causing something.

Factitive verbs take two objects; one shows who is affected, the other shows the result.

The direct object is often a noun and the indirect is what the noun becomes or receives.

Look for verbs that indicate a change of state or attribute applied to an object.
