[Grammar] tired of 'tire'

[vpkannan]

Hi,

1. I became/felt tired after a long walk.
2. I tired after a long walk.

3. You will soon get tired of her.
4. You will soon tire of her.

5. Don't tire him out with your frequent advice.
6. Don't make him tired out with your frequent advice.

Which of the above sentences are natural?

Thanks.

2 an 4 are incorrect.

 

[bubbha]

4 is OK in my opinion.

I agree that 4 is OK, and I actually think that 2 is possible, but doesn't sound natural.

As a native Tamil speaker and also an ESL speaker in India, 2 and 4 are totally unnatural for me, and I think I would never use them because I am not at all able to relate to these sentences in my mind.

However, all other sentences are natural for me as they are same in my native language also.

6 is unnatural to me.

 

[vpkannan]

6 is unnatural to me.

'Don't make him tired with your frequent advice', i.e., 'tired' instead of 'tired out'. Is it natural?

"Don't tire him out with your frequent advice" works for me.
