Task: Identify the verbs as transitive or intransitive.
#### Definitions Recap:
-
Transitive Verb: An action verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. The verb "acts upon" something.
-
Intransitive Verb: An action verb that does not require a direct object. It stands alone and expresses an action without acting upon anything specific.
#### Steps to Solve:
1. Identify the verb in each sentence.
2. Determine if the verb has a direct object (a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb).
- If it does, the verb is
transitive.
- If it does not, the verb is
intransitive.
