Step-by-step solution for: Transitive/Intransitive Verbs: Grammar Practice | Printable Skills ...
Problem Overview:
The task involves identifying transitive verbs and intransitive verbs in given sentences. Additionally, you are asked to underline the verb in each sentence and circle the direct object if it exists.
#### Key Definitions:
1. Transitive Verb: A verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. The direct object receives the action of the verb.
- Example: "She ate an apple." ("ate" is transitive; "apple" is the direct object.)
2. Intransitive Verb: A verb that does not require a direct object. It expresses an action or state without transferring the action to an object.
- Example: "He laughed." ("laughed" is intransitive; no direct object is needed.)

Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Part A: Underline the verb and circle the direct object (if any).
1. Sentence: Katie took her wallet from her pocket.
- Verb: *took* (underline)
- Direct Object: *wallet* (circle)
2. Sentence: Many people rushed by him at the station.
- Verb: *rushed* (underline)
- Direct Object: None (circle nothing)
3. Sentence: The station was busy this hour of the day.
- Verb: *was* (underline)

4. Sentence: Katie pushed the trolley near the entrance.
- Verb: *pushed* (underline)
- Direct Object: *trolley* (circle)
5. Sentence: Soon the train rolled into the station.
- Verb: *rolled* (underline)
- Direct Object: None (circle nothing)
6. Sentence: Passengers poured out onto the platform.
- Verb: *poured* (underline)

---
#### Part B: Write "transitive" or "intransitive" to identify the verb in each sentence.
1. Sentence: Katie helped a woman with a baby stroller.
- Verb: *helped*
- Type: Transitive (because it has a direct object: "a woman.")
2. Sentence: The woman thanked Katie for her kindness.
- Verb: *thanked*
- Type: Transitive (because it has a direct object: "Katie.")
3. Sentence: A young man gave his seat to the woman.
- Verb: *gave*
- Type: Transitive (because it has a direct object: "his seat.")
4. Sentence: The train lurched through the dark tunnels.
- Verb: *lurched*
