Transitive and
Intransitive Verbs
Key terms for transitive/intransitive verbs
 Direct

objects are words that receive the
action of the verb.
 Some verbs have direct objects and
others do not.
 If the verb has a direct object, it is
transitive.
 If it does not, it is intransitive.
Does it have a direct object?
 To

determine whether a verb has a direct
object,
 Ask:

 Some

whom or what after it

verbs will be both transitive and
intransitive. It depends on how the verb is
used.
Check out this example:
 He

wrote the manuscript.

 The

verb is wrote.
 Ask yourself: He wrote (what)
 Answer: The manuscript is the direct object.
 Therefore

wrote is a transitive verb.
Another example:
 The

dog shook his tail.

 The

verb is shook.
 Ask yourself: The dog shook (what)
 Answer: Tail is the direct object.
 Therefore

shook is a transitive verb.
Examples of intransitive verbs
 Mrs.

Carper applauded.

 The

verb is applauded.
 Ask yourself: Applauded (whom or what?)
 Answer: There is no word to receive the action
of the verb applauded and no direct object.
 Therefore

applauded is an intransitive verb.
 The

dog shook.

 The

verb is shook.
 Ask yourself: Shook (whom or what?)
 Answer: There is no word to receive the action
of the verb shook and no direct object.
 Therefore

shook is an intransitive verb.
The wild, wild world of verbs
 Verbs

are the most confusing part of
speech.
 However, every sentence must have a
verb to complete the meaning of the
subject.
 Do not become overwhelmed by all the
types of verbs. Write simply and clearly
are my words of advice to you.
