[COLOR="Blue"]One classification of verbs in english language is the transitive and intrasitive verbs[/COLOR]


[COLOR="red"]transitive verb[/COLOR]

is the verb that is followed by a noun or pronoun that tells who or what received the action of that verb. that noun or pronoun is called the object





to know the object ask "what for things" or "whom for people"

Example 1: The boy etas an apple
The boy eats what? an apple
apple = object
transitive = eats

Example 2: Lama is reading a book
lama is reading what? a book
a book = object
is reading = transitive

Example 3: The policeman helped us
The policeman helped whom? us
us = object
helped = transitive

[SIZE="5"]Intaransitive Verb[/SIZE]
are verbs that do not have objects. this means that the verb didnt need more than the subject to fullfill the meaning


intransitive

Example 1: I depend on you
depend = intransitive because it is followed by a preposition and not an object
depend

Example 2: Ali listens
listens = intranstive because it is not followed by any object

Example 3: Hala is a nice girl
is = verb
nice = adjective

adjective
is = intransitive because it is followed by an adjective and not a noun
