can any 1 tell me the difference between transitive and intransitive verb!!
Hello,
@Arpita, your friend Pradeep has very well answered your query. Hope that helped. Here is a brief explanation to differentiate between transitive and intransitive verbs:
A transitive verb is a verb that denotes an action which passes over from the doer or subject to an object.
Example: The mother fed the baby;
He filled up the form;
They enjoyed the party, etc.
An intransitive verb denotes an action which does not pass over to an object, or which expresses a state or being, such as:
He ran a long distance;
The balloon burst in the sky;
Please keep quiet, etc.
A matter needs to be noted here that most verbs can be used both as transitive and as intransitive verbs. It is, therefore, better to say that a verb is used transitively or intransitively rather than that it is transitive or intransitive.
@Pradeep, nice answer. Keep it up!
