The woman was scared is an intransitive verb.
Explanation:
- A verb is a part of speech that describes an action. It is a doing word. In some verbs the action in the sentence is transferred from the subject to the object.
- We can assume who receives the action by reading the sentence. Such verbs are called transitive verbs. They can usually be converted from the active voice to the passive voice.
- However there are certain verbs which are not followed by objects. These verbs do not have any receiver for their action. These verbs are called intransitive verb.
- The given sentence, ‘The woman was scared’ does not have an object hence the verb is an intransitive verb.
