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 Zach.

*Think…entertained what/who?...Zach, so Zach 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 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.
