EATransitive and intransitive verbs - Difference and explanation with examples
1. Transitive Verbs
A transitive verb is a verb that needs an object to complete its meaning — it shows an action that passes from the doer (subject) to something or someone (object).
👉 Ask “what?” or “whom?” after the verb — if the answer makes sense, it’s transitive.
Example:
• She wrote a letter.
→ Wrote what? → a letter (object)
✅ “wrote” is a transitive verb.
• They built a house.
→ Built what? → a house (object)
✅ “built” is transitive.

2. Intransitive Verbs
An intransitive verb does not need an object to complete its meaning — the action doesn’t pass to anything else.
👉 The verb makes complete sense on its own.
Example:
• She slept.
(No object — complete meaning.)
✅ “slept” is intransitive.
• They arrived late.
(No object — the sentence makes sense.)
✅ “arrived” is intransitive.
