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.
