What is the mistake in the follow expression "he looked several things"?

grammar meaning

I want to know what is the mistake in that expression, I think the mistake is the missing of the connector after the verb "looked" but I'm not sure


You would use the verbal phrase "He looked at several things". Here "looked at" is considered transitive. Without the preposition, a similar sentence could be:

"He saw several things"

Also transitive and also past tense.
