MORE VERBS…
Transitive & Intransitive

What’s the difference?

TRANSITIVE

VERBS
Expresses action toward a noun.

 The action passes from the doer (subject) to

the receiver

 The word that receives the action of a

transitive verb is called a direct object.

EXAMPLE: The monkey entertained Rashid.

*Think…entertained what/who?...Rashid, so Rashid is

the direct object.
 INTRANSITIVE VERBS
 Tells something about the subject.
 There is no one or nothing receiving the action.

EXAMPLE: Mr. Doodle crowed.

*There is nothing receiving the action crowed,
so crowed is INTRANSITIVE.
Hint: If the sentence is intransitive,
there is no direct object.
 Remember This!!
• If a sentence is Transitive
it has a Direct Object and
maybe an Indirect Object.
• If a sentence is
Intransitive, it does NOT
have a Direct Object.

Trans = DO Intrans = No DO
What is a Transitive Verb?
Answer: It expresses an action
directed at another person,
place, or thing. It takes a DO.

What is an Intransitive Verb?

Answer: It tells something about
the subject. It does NOT take a DO.

What is a Direct Object?

Answer: It tells who or what receives the action.

What is an Indirect Object?

Answer: It tells to whom the action is done.
