Question

we offered medicine to the ailing patient it is transitive or intransitive​

Answer 1

An action verb that is used with a direct object after it is called a transitive verb while an action verb that is not used with a direct object after it is called an intransitive verb. Transitive verbs always ask “for what?” or “for whom?”.

In intransitive verbs, the subject is doing the action of the verb and there is nothing that is at the receiving end of the action performed.

Examples:

Transitive verbs: Call Seema

Cut the cake

Intransitive verbs: She sneezed

He arrived

In the sentence given, there is no object/ subject following the verb 'pay'. Therefore, the verb is an intransitive verb
