It's possible you're thinking of one of these concepts:
1. The Passive Voice:
This is a grammatical construction where the object of an action becomes the subject of the sentence. The verb is often in the past participle form, and a "by" phrase is often used to indicate the actor.
* Active: The dog chased the cat.
* Passive: The cat was chased by the dog.
2. Semi-Passive Verbs:
These are verbs that are often used in a passive-like way, even though they're not technically in the passive voice. They usually describe a state or condition rather than an action.
* Example: "The door is open." This could be interpreted as "Someone opened the door," but it doesn't explicitly say who did it.
3. Transitive Verbs in the Passive Voice:
Transitive verbs (verbs that take a direct object) are the ones most commonly used in the passive voice. However, intransitive verbs (verbs that don't take a direct object) can sometimes be used in a passive-like construction, often with the help of a prepositional phrase.
* Example: "The house is lived in." This is not technically passive, but it conveys a similar meaning.
To clarify what you mean by "quasi passive verb," please provide an example sentence or context.
