Hi friend!
Let's see,
Clue 1: Can we convert this sentence into passive?
Clue 2: Is there an object in this sentence? (This clue is the easiest one!)
Both yield 'YES'.
So, it is a ••Transitive•• sentence. Congrats, you've got your answer!
How to find out if there is an object?
Look for words which give you a hint that something is there in the sentence which is being used.
E. g.: Here the egg is being used. For what? For boiling.
Sentences:
1. "I am playing." -
Is there any object over here? No, you're just stating that you are doing something, but nothing to show what you're playing with. So this sentence is Intransitive.
2. "I am playing football." -
Now is there an object over here? Yes! you have stated that you're doing whatever you're doing using a 'football'. So it is a Transitive sentence.
That was all you needed to find a Transitive or Intransitive sentence. If I had seen your questions of Transitive and Intransitive sentences before, you would not have to lose so many points for asking these many questions on this topic.
Hope you found my answer useful. Keep Smiling!
