Transitive verbs

Transitive verbs are verbs that require one or more objects.


Examples:
 She cut the cake.
 They climbed the mountain.
 He gave her a flower.
The verbs cut, climbed, and gave have objects.

Transitive verbs can be categorized into two types: monotransitive and ditransitive:
1. Monotransitive verbs are verbs that require exactly one object.
Example:
He wrote a poem
2. Ditransitive verbs are verbs that may require two objects, a direct object and an indirect object.
Example:
She offered him (first object) her car (second object).
Intransitive verbs
By contrast, intransitive verbs do not require an object.
Examples:
 They run.
 He died.
 She slept.
 It snows.
The verbs run, died, slept and snows have no objects. They are intransitive.
