CBSE Class 6 Answered
Expert Answer
Take a look at the sentences below:
The procession arrived at the main street late evening.
Shirin went to the community college for graduation.
The underlined verbs arrived and went are transitive verbs because they express action and have a direct object receiving the action (arrived on the main street, went to community college). A transitive verb is used with an object, which could be a noun, pronoun, or even a phrase.
Now read the following sentences:
The poor orphan was crying in the shed alone.
Everyone laughed at the clown doing tricks at the party.
The underlined verbs crying and laughed are intransitive verbs because they do not have an object.
DO REMEMBER
Many verbs can be transitive or intransitive.
For example:
The girl sang carols. [transitive]
Rahul always sings in the bath. [intransitive]
She left the country on October 6. [transitive]
We want to leave early. [intransitive]
- A transitive verb is used with an object, which could be a noun, pronoun, or even a phrase.
- An intransitive verb does not have an object.
