what are transitive and intransitive verbs?

A verb can be described as transitive orintransitive based on whether it requires an object to express a complete thought or not. A transitive verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action on an object. An intransitive verb will make sense without one. Some verbs may be used both ways.
The word transitive often makes people think of transit, which leads to the mistaken assumption that the terms transitive and intransitive are just fancy ways of describing action and nonaction. But these terms have nothing to do with whether a verb is active or not. A better word to associate when you see transitive is transfer. A transitive verbneeds to transfer its action to something or someone—an object. In essence, transitive means “to affect something else.”
Once you have this concept committed to memory, spotting the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs is quite easy.
Mark it brainliest.

TRANSITIVE VERB
A transitive verb is a verb that requires one or more objects. This contrasts with intransitive verbs, which do not have objects. ... Transitive verbs can be classified by the number of objects they require. Verbs that require only two arguments, a subject and a single direct object, are monotransitive.
Intransitive Verb
An intransitive verb is simply defined as a verb that does not take a direct object. There's no word in the sentence that tells who or what received the action. While there may be a word or phrase following an intransitive verb, such words and phrases typically answer the question "how".
