▼

- Transitive verbs require a direct object to complete their meaning. For example, in "She reads a book," "reads" is transitive because it acts on the object "a book."
- Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object. For example, in "He sleeps," "sleeps" is intransitive because it does not act on anything.
- Some verbs can be both transitive and intransitive depending on context. For example, "run" is intransitive in "She runs every morning," but transitive in "She runs a business."
- To identify a transitive verb, ask “what?” or “whom?” after the verb. If you get an answer, it’s transitive.
- To identify an intransitive verb, check if the verb makes sense without an object. If it does, it’s likely intransitive.
