Transitive verbs (with example)

Transitive verbs

Transitive verbs are verbs that require one or more objects.

Examples:

• They climbed the mountain.
• He gave her a flower.

The verbs cut, climbed, and gave have objects.

Transitive verbs can be categorized into two types: monotransitive and ditransitive:

1.       Monotransitive verbs are verbs that require exactly one object.
Example:
He wrote a poem

2.       Ditransitive verbs are verbs that may require two objects, a direct object and an indirect object.
Example:
She offered him (first object) her car (second object).

Intransitive verbs

By contrast, intransitive verbs do not require an object.

Examples:

• They run.
• He died.
• She slept.
• It snows.

The verbs run, died, slept and snows have no objects. They are intransitive.
