This is not really a sentence. It has a passive verb phrase an actor but no non-actor or subject. Passive sentences usually require a verb that takes an object - a transitive verb. So I would say bake is a transitive verb. Some verbs can be both transitive or non transitive. The bread was baked by mother.
Intransitive verbs express an idea without needing anything to complete it. They do not send their action towards any receiver. Example- Daniel wrote everyday for one hour. -The verb wrote is intransitive. However, in the following sentence, the verb wrote would be transitive. Daniel wrote an essay for class. He wrote what? An essay. Essay would be the direct object. So, the verb wrote would be transitive in this case.
"Meet" is both transitive and intransitive. When we say: "They meet every Friday," it is intransitive since there is not direct object. When we say" He met his friend at the library," it is transitive since "his friend" is a direct object. Alternatively, "He met the standards and was employed," is another intransitive usage of the verb. Regards, Doug
That is the correct spelling of "laid down" (verb to lay, transitive verb).The past tense of lie (lie down) would be lay down(verb to lie, intransitive verb).
The intransitive verb would be learn, because in this sentence learn has no direct object.
The verb "cringed" can be both transitive and intransitive, depending on its usage in a sentence. For example, "He cringed at the sight of the spider" is transitive because it has a direct object ("the sight of the spider"), while "He cringed in embarrassment" is intransitive because it does not have a direct object.

An intransitive verb is simply defined as a verbthat does not take a direct object. There's no word in the sentence that tells who or what received the action.So use would be a transitive verb because we always say -- I use (something) - there must be an object to complete the sentence.

"Visited" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object to complete its meaning. If you say "he had visited," you would need to mention what or whom he had visited to make the sentence complete.
spoke is a transitive verb if the sentence contains a direct object for it. Example of transitive use: He spoke a few words of wisdom to the group. Intransitive: She spoke pleasantly to me.
Transitive means that the verb needs something to go to... For example: I open... needs something after- for example 'a door' or 'the box'. So, a lot of verbs are transitive. We always eat something (He eats bread). An example of a intransitive verb would be 'sleep', because we don'r sleep something, but we do eat something: He sleeps every night. To summarise; A transitive verb needs an object, an intransitive verb doesn't.

'The paint wore away from acid rain corrosion' is not really English. Sort out the sentence before worrying about transitive/intransitive. Do you mean 'The paint was worn away by acid rain corrosion'? That would be intransitive, I think. 'Acid rain corrosion wore away the paint' would be transitive. Hope this helps.

"Reflexive" and "transitive" are not contrary. Educate may be a transitive or an intransitive verb. Reflexive verbs are transitive by definition, having an object identical to their subject: I educate myself.
"Transitive" is not a description of any tense. "Transitive" and "intransitive" are characteristics of verbs themselves and their meaning and use in a sentence: A transitive verb has a direct object, but an intransitive verb does not. Some verbs, such as "sing", can be used either transitively or intransitively: "The soprano sings a beautiful aria in Act I" or "A lark sings sweetly." As far as I know, in proper formal English, "likes" is always transitive. In colloquial current English, the object of "likes" is often omitted, but it is always implied somewhere in the context: "Do you like this", said Mary. "I like", said Martha. The second of these sentences is not formally correct, but seems to be favored among teenagers trying to give an impression of being "cool".
