(The action of throwing passes from
Mary to the ball.)
Ex. I ate soup.
(The action of eating passes from the
person to the soup.)
Transitive Verbs
• Transitive verbs could have a direct object. If so, the sentence is written in active voice.
*Remember, a direct object is found by:
1. Find the action verb
2. Ask “who?” of “what?” after it.
V DO
Ex. I gave a gift.
Transitive Verbs
• Transitive verbs can also appear in sentences written in passive voice. Passive voice means the doer is not the subject of the sentence. Passive voice is not used in effective writing.

Intransitive Verbs
• Intransitive verbs have a doer of the action, but nothing receives the action.
Ex. I ran quickly.
(The action of running has someone doing the action, but nothing is being run, There is no receiver.)
