Eg: The batter hit the ball.

(batter=subject ; hit= verb; ball =object)

Transitive verbs are action verbs that have an object to receive that action.In the above example of transitive verb,the direct object ball received the action of the verb hit.

Eg: The bird sang.

(bird=subject & sang= verb& there is no object)

Intransitive verbs are action words but unlike transitive verbs, the do not have an object receiving the action. there are no words after the verb sang i.e. there is no object.
