 Transitive and Intransitive Verbs :-

 As defined above, transitive verbs always requires an object in the sentence. So let‘s
see some examples in which if object is not written what will happen.

―He bought.‖ Now you will feel that the meaning and the sense of this example is not complete.
So if this type of feeling comes to you about any verb in a sentence you can easily say that the
given verb is an intransitive verb. The sentence can be correct if you put some object after
bought. Like – he bought a book. Now it is complete. Hence in this sentence bought is a
transitive verb.
In addition to the brief in first paragraph, intransitive verbs have two special features.

 They are action verb.
 Do not require direct object.
For example- She was crying. Here the sentence is complete without any object.

 Transitive Verb examples:-
1. I sang a song.
2. Anup met Abhishek.
3. She moved the table.
4. I play guitar.
5. I love you.
 Intransitive Verb examples :-
1. She laughed.
2. He cried.
3. She died.
4. You lie.
5. I am jumping.
Some verbs are always intransitive verbs like- go, sit, lie, die, arrive, sneeze, etc.

 How to identify transitive and intransitive verbs :-

 Transitive verbs are not just verbs that can take an object; they demand objects. Without
an object to affect, the sentence that a transitive verb inhabits will not seem complete.
