Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning.   The direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.Intransitive verbs, on the other hand, do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. They simply describe an action or state of being. Intransitive verbs can be followed by adverbs, prepositions, or phrases that provide additional information, but they do not take a direct object.
