Only transitive verbs have direct or indirect objects
lol yes sir
Intransitive verbs do not have a direct object. Car is the direct object of drove, so drove is a transitive verb. Sat is the intransitive verb in that sentence.
The verb "was" in this sentence is intransitive because it does not take a direct object.
The sentence "The dog jumped into the stream" contains a transitive verb ("jumped") because it has a direct object ("stream").
Works is an intransitive verb in that example. There is no direct object.
The verb is called a transitive verb if it takes a direct object.The verb is called an intransitive verb if it has no direct object or only an indirect object.
A transitive verb has a direct object (receiver of the action), while an intransitive verb has no direct object. The verb "to be" is intransitive. In the sentence "The distant rainbow was spectacular," there is no object or receiver of the action (verb) "was." The adjective "spectacular" modifies the verb "was."
The verb "works" is intransitive in the sentence provided. It does not have a direct object receiving the action.
In the sentence "the sun sets in the west," the verb set is used intransitively since it does not take a direct (or indirect) object. However, the verb set can be used transitively: The son sets the table for dinner. Here, sets take the direct object "the table."
Ate is intransitive in that sentence. There is no direct object."You ate pizza in the cafeteria" is an example of ate as a transitive verb (pizza is the direct object).
A INTRANSITIVE VERB IS A VERB THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A OBJECT !
A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. Basically, the verb is transferred to the direct object. For example, in the sentence,"I flipped the mattress," flipped is the transitive verb; its direct object is mattress. The mattress received the action, flipped.An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require a direct object to make sense. "In the sentence,"I fell," fellis the intransitive verb, since it does not transfer its action to a direct object.ORif you are her from a question from apex try "It is a verb that needs an object to make sense" in simpler words
