Question

what are transitive and intransitive verbs. it is not mentioned in my text book,so I don't know ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A transitive verb, used with a direct object, transmits action to an object and may also have an indirect object, which indicates to or for whom the action is done. In contrast, an intransitive verb never takes an object.

Answer 2

Transitive verbs

A transitive verb takes a direct object; that is, the verb transmits action to an object.

EX:- He sent the letter. ( letter = direct object of sent)

She gave the lecture. ( lecture = direct object of gave)

Intransitive verb

An intransitive verb does not take an object

EX:- She sleeps too much.

He complains frequently.

In these sentences, nothing receives the action of the verbs sleep and complain.

Many verbs can be either transitive or intransitive.

She sings every day. (no object = intransitive)

She sings rock 'n' roll tunes. ( rock 'n' roll tunes receives the action of sings = transitive)
