Typically, an adverb or prepositional phrase modifies an intransitive verb or the verb ends the
sentence. To determine whether a verb is intransitive ask whether the action is done in some way,

verb is transitive and the person or thing that receives its action is the direct object.
Write an I if the verb is intransitive and a T if it is transitive.
