Depending on whether the action denoted by the verb is transferred from the subject to the
object or not, verbs are said to be transitive or intransitive. Transitive means passing over.
(2)
Transitive verb
When the action denoted by the verb helps passes over from the doer or subject to some
object. The verb is called a Transitive verb. A verb which has an object is termed as
Transitive Verb. Ex. She speaks English well.
Intransitive verb
When the action denoted by the verb stops with the doer or subject and does not pass over
to an object the verb is called an Intransitive verb. An intransitive verb may also express a
state or being. A verb which has no object is known as Intransitive Verb. Ex. The ship sank
suddenly.
Example:
Would you like to see some verbs used both transitively and intransitively?
Most verbs can be used transitively and intransitively. Therefore it is better to say that a
verb is used transitively or intransitively rather than calling a verb a Transitive or an
Intransitive verb.
