Answer 2

Answer:

It is an transitive verb.

Explanation:

The policemen caught the thieves.

Here the verb is caught.

Now, what is transitive verb?

A verb which answers the question whom, whose? When a vrrb received the object as a noun, pronoun, noun clause, etc. then it is called Transitive verb.

What is Intransitive verb?

Intransitive verb does not receive any object and it just tells what the work is going and it does not tells about it in detail.

For example: The policeman caught the thieves. Here, in this sentence the verb is caught but the policeman caught who? so the answer is the thieves we are getting the answer over here so it is a transitive verb.

Now taking an example of intransitive verb

The children are playing.

In this sentence, we do not know what the children are playing so it is an intransitive verb.
