Transitive/Intransitive Verbs: Grammar Practice | Printable Skills ... - Free Printable

I'll solve this worksheet on transitive and intransitive verbs. Let me go through each part step by step.

## Part A: Underline the verb and circle the direct object

Let me analyze each sentence:

1. Kerrie took her wallet from her pocket.
- Verb: "took"
- Direct object: "her wallet" (what she took)

2. Many people rushed to her as she stood at the station.
- Verb: "rushed"
- No direct object (they rushed TO her, but "to her" is a prepositional phrase, not a direct object)

3. The station was busy at this hour of the day.
- Verb: "was"
- No direct object (this is a linking verb connecting subject to complement)

4. Kerrie pushed the trolley near the entrance.
- Verb: "pushed"
- Direct object: "the trolley" (what she pushed)

5. Soon the train roared into the station.
- Verb: "roared"
- No direct object (intransitive verb)

6. Passengers poured out onto the platform.
- Verb: "poured"
- No direct object (intransitive verb)

## Part B: Write transitive or intransitive to identify the verb

7. Kerrie helped a woman with a baby stroller.
- "helped" is transitive (has direct object "a woman")

8. The woman thanked Kerrie for her kindness.
- "thanked" is transitive (has direct object "Kerrie")

9. A young man gave his seat to the woman.
- "gave" is transitive (has direct object "his seat")

10. The train lurched through the dark tunnels.
- "lurched" is intransitive (no direct object)

## Solution Summary

Part A:
1. took (verb), circle "her wallet" (direct object)
2. rushed (verb), no direct object
3. was (verb), no direct object
4. pushed (verb), circle "the trolley" (direct object)
5. roared (verb), no direct object
6. poured (verb), no direct object

Part B:
7. transitive
8. transitive
9. transitive
10. intransitive

This completes the worksheet. The key distinction is that transitive verbs require a direct object (something receiving the action), while intransitive verbs do not have a direct object.
