Transcript
Thomas smells the soup. Thomas smells awful. What are transitive verbs? Transitive verbs take objects. That is, these verbs carry the action of a subject and apply it to an object. They tell us what the subject (agent) does to something else (object). Mario bought a shirt. (agent) (did something) (object- answers question "what?") She brushes her hair every hour. Marina will lose the race. Note that the transitive verb can take any tense. What are intransitive verbs? Intransitive verbs do not take an object. They express actions that do not require the agent's doing something to something else. Tom danced all night. The intransitive verb "danced" is a complete action by itself and does not require a direct object to receive the action. They ran down the road. They ran, but they do not run "something" in this sentence. The sentence contains no object Jack fell off the roof.
