我很推荐这部电影, (因為)"它"非常精彩. "它" describes "这部电影". The reverse shall follow the same pattern, "这部电影非常精彩, 我很推荐"它"."

If it is true "这部电影非常精彩, 我很推荐这部电影" would be wrong, but it isn't

In English, many verbs can both be intransitive and transitive. I was just saying 推荐 maybe used as an intransitive verb. However, it's best not to pigeon hole Chinese with English grammar.

You are right!  Especially if it is used in Hongkong, (a 语病 to me).

At the Glen Waverley library (Melbourne), they have some Chinese study classes, and the above is from their notes. I was surprised by 我很推荐 not being followed by an object, such as 我很推荐它.

**Question**: Is 这部电影非常精彩，我很推荐 grammatical, despite the verb 推荐 lacking an object?

I asked [Assistant](https://poe.com/s/hurvHY9GQnT8TW0sWSYH) and it said:

> ...the verb "推荐" (tuījiàn) is used without an explicit object.

Maybe this is permissible, but still, the sentence feels like a 语病 to me.

**Tags:** grammar, verbs

> **Comments:**
> **username_1**: You are right!  Especially if it is used in Hongkong, (a 语病 to me).  
> **username_2**: Would you consider this sentence 这道烤鸡很好吃，我很喜欢 as a 语病?
