Students can use this worksheet to practice distinguishing between transitive and intransitive verbs while identifying sentence objects.

Let's solve this step-by-step.

We are asked to:
1. Underline the verbs in each sentence.
2. Determine if the verb is used transitively or intransitively.
3. If transitive, identify the direct object and indirect object.

---

🔹 Definitions:

- Transitive Verb: A verb that requires a direct object (the receiver of the action).
- Example: *She gave me a book.* → "gave" is transitive; "book" is direct object; "me" is indirect object.

- Intransitive Verb: A verb that does not take a direct object.
- Example: *He sleeps.* → "sleeps" is intransitive.

- Direct Object: The noun/pronoun receiving the action (what is being acted upon).
- Indirect Object: The recipient of the direct object (often introduced by "to" or "for").

📝 Notes:

- Some verbs like "sing", "fall", "sleep", "run", "wait", "jump" are intransitive because they don’t require a direct object.
- Verbs like give, offer, tell, promise, write, send, etc. can take both direct and indirect objects.
- When a verb takes two objects, the indirect object usually comes before the direct object and often answers "to whom?" or "for whom?".
