Question

The rain fell heavily. transitive or intransitive ​

Answer 1

It is intransitive.

• Verbs can be either transitive or intransitive depending on the requirement of an object.
• Transitive verbs are the ones that are necessarily followed by one or more objects. Presence of a direct object is important.

Example- He played the guitar.

• Intransitive verbs are the ones that do not require any object.

Example- She cried.

• Here, we have no object for the verb 'fell'. The subject is 'the rain' whereas 'heavily' is the adverb.
