Worksheet On Transitive And Intransitive Verb

In the English language, verbs can be classified into two main categories: transitive and intransitive. A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning, while an intransitive verb does not require a direct object. Understanding the difference between these two types of verbs is essential for mastering English grammar.

Transitive verbs are action verbs that transfer their action to an object. For example, in the sentence “She eats an apple,” the verb “eats” is transitive because it requires an object (an apple) to complete its meaning. On the other hand, intransitive verbs do not require an object to complete their meaning. For example, in the sentence “He sleeps,” the verb “sleeps” is intransitive because it does not require an object.
