Transitive Verb
According to Nesfield – “A Verb is transitive if the action does not stop with the agent, but passes from the agent to something else.”
1. I read a book.
2. Swati is taking tea.
In sentences–1 and sentences–2 the words read and is taking are the examples of Transitive Verbs.
I read what? The answer is book. (here book is the object)
Swati is taking —what? The answer is tea. (tea is the object)
Thus read and is taking are such words as require an Object to make the sense complete. Such verbs are called Transitive Verbs.
“A verb that requires an Object to complete its meaning (sense) is called a Transitive Verb.”
Intransitive Verb
According to Nesfield – A verb is Intransitive when the action stops with the agent and does not pass from the agent to anything else. In other words — A verb that does not require an object to make sense but makes good sense by itself is called an Intransitive Verb.
