Is the sentence The cake was baked by Mother transitive or intransitive?
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.
What are intransitive verbs?
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.
Is 'meet' an intransitive verb?
"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

'The paint wore away from acid rain corrosion' is not really English. Sort out the sentence before worrying about transitive/intransitive.

What is the transitive tense of the word likes?
"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".
