A transitive verb has two characteristics: it is a verb that shows action, and the action happens directly to someone or something (direct object.)

For example, Martha flipped the hamburger. The verb flipped is a verb which shows action, something Martha DID. The flipping happened to the hamburger, so the hamburger is the direct object. So the verb flipped is a transitive verb.
