Question

put away your books this is transitive or intransitive​

Answer 1

intransitive

because we can close our books and not study instead of actually putting them away

Answer 2

The given sentence has a transitive verb. The transitive verb in the sentence is 'put away.'

• Here, we have to identify if the given sentence contains a transitive or an intransitive verb.
• A transitive verb is one that requires an object succeeding it which is the receiver of the action. The said object can be a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun.
• Here, the verb 'put away' is succeeded by the object 'books', it is the receiver of the action of putting away.
• An intransitive verb does not require an object following it. In fact, if an object follows such a verb the sentence becomes incorrect.
• Quite clearly, this is not the case in the given sentence. Hence, it cannot be containing an intransitive verb.
• Thus, the given sentence has a transitive verb. The transitive verb in the sentence is 'put away.'
