The "I" means intransitive. The "T" means transitive.

Transitive verbs are normally followed by an object. The verb indicates an action which is carried out upon the object.

Henry wrote a letter. (Wrote what? -- A letter.)

Ursula is washing the dishes. (Is washing what? -- The dishes.)

Intransitive verbs do not take objects. The verb indicates an action complete in itself.

Irma is sleeping. (You don't "sleep something", you just sleep.)

Jerry stood up. (Jerry didn't stand something up. He just stood up.)
