Answer 1

1. The judge punished the thief.

• verb - punished [transitive]

Here we can understand that 'punished' is referring to the thief.

2. The driver sleeps.

• verb - sleeps [intransitive]

Here, 'sleeps' has no reference to an object.

3. We grow strawberries in our garden.

• verb - grow [transitive]

Here, 'grow' is referring to the strawberries in the garden.

4. The hunter killed the deer.

• verb - killed [transitive]

Here, 'killed' is referring to the deer.

5. We fly kites on holidays.

• verb - fly [transitive]

Here, 'fly' is referring to the kites.

6. The child laughed.

• verb - laughed [intransitive]

Here, 'laughed' is not being referred to anything. It is not specified to what/at what the child is laughing.

A transitive verb is a verb that 'transfers' its action to an object.

An intransitive verb is a verb that doesn't 'transfer' its action to an object/has no reference to an object.

Another easy way to identify if a verb is transitive/intransitive is to convert the sentence into its passive voice. If it's possible, the verb is transitive.

In a passive voice, the action must undergo the subject, i.e., the action must be performed by the subject, with reference to an object.
