Answer 1

Answer:

A verb with an Object is called a Transitive Verb.

There may be two or more objects also in a sentence.

There are two kinds of objects 1) Direct, 2)Indirect.

1. Subject+ verb + what = Direct Object

2. Subject+ verb + whom = Direct Object

3.Subject+ verb + to whom = Indirect Object

4. Subject+ verb + for whom = Indirect Object

Note: In case, there is answer to at least one question, then it is called an Intransitive Verb.
