Voice describes whether the transitive verbs have the subject performing the action or receiving the action.
For a verb to be transitive it must have a subject and an object. In order to make "moved" a transitive verb, the sentence would have to begin with a subject who did the moving and end with an object that was moved by the subject.
No, a transitive verb is a verb that requires both a direct subject and one or more objects. Some auxilliary (helping) verbs are, however, transitive verbs.
You can find a transitive verb of incomplete predication, when you do not have the Direct Object. I mean, when the DO is hidden. For ex: "He wrote me". You can ask: What did he write? And you can answer: a letter, an email, etc... He: Subject wrote me: Predicate wrote: Main Verb / Transitive Verb of Incomplete Predication me: Indirect Object In this sentence you do not have the DO (a letter, an email, etc)... so the pattern verb is TVIP.
Although painfully shy, Burt never minded performing music in front of a crowd. Although painfully shy, performing music in front of a crowd never bothered Burt. Although he was painfully shy, performing music in front of a crowd never bothered Burt.
A predicate is the part of the sentence that describes the action, whereas the subject is the part of the sentence that describes who is doing the action. The predicate may just be a verb, but it can also involve adverbs, conjunctions, helping verbs, and so forth, all of which help to describe the action of the sentence. Here is a sentence in which the predicate is just a verb: Bill left. Bill is the subject, left is the predicate. But you could also say, Bill left suddenly. In that case, left suddenly is the predicate.

Yes, both transitive active and passive verbs have a subject or object as the action receiver. The only difference is that transitive passive has a subject receiving action while the transitive active has an object receiving action.
Subject is the receiver
For a verb to be transitive it must have a subject and an object. In order to make "moved" a transitive verb, the sentence would have to begin with a subject who did the moving and end with an object that was moved by the subject.
The compound verb "were flying" is intransitive; it does not require any direct object to complete its meaning, but instead describes an independent characteristic of the subject of a clause in which it occurs.
The verb "educate" is reflexive because it involves the idea of self-improvement or self-development as the direct object of the verb. When you say "I educate myself," the action of educating is directed back to the same subject. In contrast, a transitive verb would involve directing the action towards something or someone else, such as "I teach students."
No, a transitive verb is a verb that requires both a direct subject and one or more objects. Some auxilliary (helping) verbs are, however, transitive verbs.
You have a compound verb "will help" Belinda is your subject. "Will help" is your verb. "Us" is receiving the action of the verb, so "us" is your your direct object. Since "Will Help" has a direct object, it is a transitive verb. However, the verb "Will" simply puts the verb into the future tense. It is a helping verb. You could say it is intransitive. "Help" then serves as your transitive verb.
A transitive verb is one that permits a subject to do something unto something else (the object of the sentence), while an intransitive verb simply denotes the state of the subject. For instance: I burned the rice this morning. (here, 'to burn' is transitive, because it was done unto the rice) The fire burns until there is no more tinder left. (here, 'to burn' is intransitive, because it simply describes the state of the subject - it is not the vehicle of direct action by/to another agent) I buy movie tickets well in advance. (transitive. tickets are bought by me.) I go to school when I feel like it. (intransitive. the 'go'ing cannot be done unto something else, it just refers to the state of the subject)
