Answer 1

Explanation:

Knowing if a verb is transitive or intransitive helps learners to use words correctly and improves grammar accuracy.

To understand what transitive and intransitive verbs are, it’s first necessary to understand what the object of a verb is.

Take a look at these two simple sentences:

My mother likes tea.

My mother laughed.

‘My mother’ is the subject in both sentences. In the first sentence ‘like’ is the verb and ‘tea’ is its object. ‘Like’ is therefore a transitive verb, because it has an object.

In the second sentence, the verb is ‘laugh’. It has no object and is therefore an intransitive verb.

So, we have the following definitions:

a transitive verb has an object

an intransitive verb has NO object.

Now let’s go into more detail about transitive and intransitive verbs by looking at what can follow them in a sentence.

Transitive verbs (and what follows them)

When a verb is transitive it always has an object. It is incorrect to use a transitive verb without an object.

The object of a transitive verb can be:

a noun

Tom sold his house.

They drank the beer.

a pronoun

He sold it.

He kissed her.

Transitive verbs with two objects

Some transitive verbs, such as ‘lend’, ‘give’ and ‘buy’ can have two objects. In the sentence I brought her some wine both ‘her’ and ‘wine’ are objects. Here are three more examples:

He gave his wife a birthday present. (‘his wife’ and ‘a birthday present’ are the objects)

They cooked their friends a meal. (‘their friends’ and ‘a meal’ are the objects)

Mary poured him a glass of wine. (‘him’ and ‘a glass of wine’ are the objects)

Intransitive verbs (and what sometimes follows them)

When a verb is intransitive it never has an object:

The man appeared. (intransitive verb = ‘appear’)

I sneezed. (intransitive verb = ‘sneeze’)

My uncle has just died. (intransitive verb = ‘die’)

The bomb exploded. (intransitive verb = ‘explode’)

The match ended. (intransitive verb = ‘end’)

However, some intransitive verbs can be followed by a prepositional phrase or an adverb:

I fell off my bike. (prepositional phrase = ‘off my bike’)

The ball rolled away. (adverb = ‘away’)

A few intransitive verbs must be followed by something (either a prepositional phrase or an adverb). These are often verbs for describing movement
