EXPLANATION

• In the above sentence, we have to find out if the verb is transitive or transitive.
• Based on whether the verb requires an object to express or describe a complete thought, a verb can be of two types - Transitive and intransitive.
• Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not require an object to express a complete thought.
• Therefore, in the given sentence, 'We lived in Mexico for two years. The verb, Lived, is intransitive because the sentence does not have an object after the verb.
• The phrase- 'In Mexico for two years', is not an object, it acts like an adverb describing the period in which the subject lived.
• Another Example of an Intransitive verb is as followed-

1. The baby smiled
2. The baby smiled Radhika's baby cries a lot.
3. The baby smiled Radhika's baby cries a lot. She stood in the corner.

• Transitive verbs are verbs that require an object to express the thought completely.
• For example -

1. They stole the car.
2. They stole the car. I am looking for my passport.

Hence, the verb in the sentence is intransitive.
