Answers
Identify whether the verb in the given sentence is transitive or intransitive:
→ I go to school everyday.
Verbs are classified into two types:
1) Transitive
2) Intransitive
- TRANSITIVE VERBS:
(a) Transitive Verbs are the verbs that have a subject or an object that receives the action. For example, Hari kicked the ball.
→ Here, "ball" is the object of the verb "kicked".
(b) A transitive action verb has a direct object.
- INTRANSITIVE VERBS:
(a) Intransitive Verbs are the verbs that have a subject or denote an action which doesn't pass the object.
(b) They don't require an object to complete its meaning. For example, The baby was crying.

Answer:
First let us know more about Transitive and Intransitive Verb.
Transitive Verb:-
A transitive verb is one that is used with an object: a noun, phrase, or pronoun that refers to the person or thing that is affected by the action of the verb.
Example:-
I brought a car
brought- Transitive verb.
a car- Direct object
You buy something (an object).
What did you buy? A car
You cannot just say 'I brought'
(incomplete and incorrect)
You need a direct object after a transitive verb. ( in this case 'buy'.)
Intransitive Verb:-
An intransitive verb is defined as a verb that does not take a direct object. That means there's no word in the sentence that tells who or what received the action of the verb.
Example:-
The baby smiled.
Intransitive verb
You cannot have an object after an intransitive verb. ( in this case 'smile')
You cannot 'smile something'
Another example:-
We waited but nobody came.
Waited, came- Intransitive verb
Verb that are Transitive and Intransitive
Some verbs can be transitive in one sentence and intransitive in another.
1. I stopped the car.
stopped- Transitive verb.
The car- Direct object.
2.The car stopped.
Stopped- Intransitive verb.
There is no object.
Sometimes the meaning of the verb changes depending on whether that verb is transitive or intransitive( especially with phrasal verbs).
Example:-
He runs a small grocery store.
(Transitive: run= manage)
He runs along the beach every morning.
( Intransitive: run = the sport)
I go to school everyday.
go - Intransitive verb
It's intransitive as it does contain any object.
