"Stepped" can be both transitive and intransitive, depending on its use in a sentence. As an intransitive verb, it can describe someone stepping without a direct object (e.g., "She stepped carefully"). As a transitive verb, it can take a direct object (e.g., "He stepped on the grass"). Thus, its classification depends on the context in which it is used.

In the sentence, "felt" is a transitive verb because it takes a direct object, "the sharp points of the quills." The verb "penetrated" is also transitive, as it requires an object, "his leg," to complete its meaning. Both verbs are acting on objects in the sentence.
Since flow does not take an object, it is an intransitive verb.
No. It is used as an adjective or a transitive verb. An adverb form is "readily."
The function of a noun that follows a transitive verb is the direct object or indirect object. For example: John gave flowers to Mary. (the noun flowers is the direct object) John gave Mary some flowers. (the noun Mary is the indirect object)
"Stepped" is typically a transitive verb, as it usually requires an object to complete its meaning. However, in certain contexts, "stepped" can also be used intransitively when the object is implied or understood from the context. For example, "He stepped into the room" is transitive, while "He stepped carefully" is intransitive.

Transitive nouns don't exist. There are, however, transitive verbs. Transitive verbs must have a direct object. For example, "holds" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object. "She holds" is not a complete thought, but "she holds flowers" is.
