[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually you are wrong. There are 3 grammatically acceptable ways to say it. She was graduated from college. She graduated from college She graduated college. While #1 is originally grammatically correct since "graduated" was a transitive verb meaning to bestow a degree. But since language is evolving (maybe you are not) it eventually came to mean to receive a degree, intransitive. Though most grammarians disagreed with the move from transitive to intransitive evolution won that battle. Finally, graduated is now both transitive and intransitive so it does not have to "take an object". Hence both are correct. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/graduate[/quote] [img]https://media.giphy.com/media/qlwnHTKCPeak0/giphy.gif[/img][/quote]
