Question

What are transitive and intransitive verb?​

Answer 1

Answer:

•A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to receive the action.

Example :-

• Correct: The speaker discussed different marketing strategies in the video.

• Incorrect: The speaker discussed in the video.

• The verb "discuss" requires an object ("different marketing strategies"). It is necessary to state what the speaker discussed.

Example Sentences :-

• Some other examples of transitive verbs are "address," "borrow," "bring," "discuss," "raise," "offer," "pay," "write," "promise," and "have."

• The instructor addressed the student’s question.

• Miriam borrowed the methodology book from her classmate because she forgot her copy.

• Can you bring your copy of the textbook to our study group meeting?

• Donovan gave the gift to his sister.

• The committee members will raise money for the new project.

Direct and Indirect Objects :-

A transitive verb can take more than one object.

• Donovan gave his sister a laptop.

In this sentence, there is an indirect object, "his sister," and a direct object, "a laptop." However, there is another way to say this same idea using a prepositional phrase.

• Donovan gave a laptop to his sister.
