Grammar quiz worksheet asking students to identify transitive and intransitive verbs in various sentences.

Let's solve each of these questions step by step and identify whether the verbs in the sentences are transitive or intransitive.

---

🔹 Definitions:

- Transitive Verb: A verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. The action is "passed" to someone or something.
- Example: *She read a book.* → "read" needs "a book" (direct object).

- Intransitive Verb: A verb that does not take a direct object. The action stands alone.
- Example: *He sleeps.* → No object needed.

---

Now, let’s analyze each sentence:

---

1. Hari passed the salt.

- Verb: passed
- Object: the salt → this is the thing being passed.
- ✔ "Passed" has a direct object → Transitive

> ✔ Answer: Transitive

---

2. Nitin flew a kite.

- Verb: flew
- Object: a kite → the kite is what was flown.
- ✔ "Flew" takes a direct object → Transitive

> ✔ Answer: Transitive

---

3. Rohan watches television everyday.

- Verb: watches
- Object: television → he is watching TV.
- ✔ "Watches" has a direct object → Transitive

> ✔ Answer: Transitive

---

4. I read a book.

- Verb: read
- Object: a book → the book is being read.
- ✔ "Read" has a direct object → Transitive

> ✔ Answer: Transitive

---

5. Mary eats in a hurry.

- Verb: eats
- Is there a direct object? → "in a hurry" is an adverbial phrase (how she eats), not a direct object.
- ✘ No direct object → Intransitive

> ✔ Answer: Intransitive

> ⚠️ Note: "Eat" can be transitive (*She eats apples*) but here it's used without a direct object.

6. The book was lost.

- Verb: was lost
- This is a passive construction: "lost" is the past participle.
- But the main verb is was, which is a linking verb, and lost is part of the passive voice.
- However, we’re analyzing the main action – “was lost” means the book became missing.
- There is no direct object receiving the action; instead, the subject ("the book") is the one affected.
- Since the verb does not take a direct object and is passive, it's considered intransitive in this context.

> ✔ Answer: Intransitive

> 📝 Explanation: Even though "lose" is transitive in active form (*Someone lost the book*), in passive form (*The book was lost*), the verb doesn't have a direct object, so it's treated as intransitive.

7. Have you washed your hands?

- Verb: washed
- Object: your hands → the hands are being washed.
- ✔ "Washed" has a direct object → Transitive

> ✔ Answer: Transitive

---

- Verbs without a direct object = Intransitive
- Passive voice often makes verbs appear intransitive even if the active form is transitive.
