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. ... A transitive verb needs to transfer its action to something or someone—an object.

Kinds of Verbs

There are two kinds of Verbs: Transitive and Intransitive.

  • A Verb that requires an Object to complete its meaning (sense) is called a Transitive Verb

Note the use of Verbs in the following sentences.

  1. The woman filled the pail with water.
  2. The soldiers fired their guns.

  • A Verb that does not require an Object to complete its meaning (sense) is called an Intransitive Verb.

For example:-

  1. He kneeled to pray.
  2. People crowded to see the king.

Incomplete Verbs:-

  • Verbs that complement are called Link Verbs or Verbs of incomplete Predication .

  • Link Verbs are very few in number. The most common Link Verb is be which has various forms: am, is, are, was, were, being, been. and become. Other Common Link Verbs are appear, seem ,tall go, keep, and sound are also Link Verbs. In some contexts, words like feel, grow, look, taste, turn, smell, prove, come,

Defining a Verb:-

  • A Verb is a word that denotes an action or being or possession.

Read the following sentences.

  1. Mary put the cups on the table. (action)
  2. The bowler throws the ball to the batsman. (action)
  3. This river is quite shallow. (being)

Object of the Verb

Read those sentences and the questions that follow them.

1. The hunter killed the lion. killed what? - the lion.

  • The lion is the Object of the Verb killed.

2. He helps the poor. helps whom? - the poor

  • The poor is the object of the verb helps.

  • If we frame a question using the Verb and the word what or whom, the word that answers the question is the object of the Verb.

.

A Verb, in different senses, can be Transitive, Intransitive or Incomplete. Here are a few examples:

1. I felt the stones under my feet. (Transitive)

2. The dead cannot feel. (Intransitive)
