A verb with a direct object is a transitive verb. It requires an object to complete its meaning in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I ate the apple," the verb "ate" is transitive, and "apple" is the direct object of the verb.
She (subject) watched (transitive verb) the movie (direct object). They (subject) cooked (transitive verb) dinner (direct object). He (subject) read (transitive verb) the book (direct object). The students (subject) completed (transitive verb) the assignment (direct object).
A transitive verb has an immediately following object which can be converted into the subject of a corresponding passive verb. For instance "has" in the preceding sentence is not transitive, because the following is not grammatical: *"An immediately following object is had by a transitive verb."
