Is transitive a verb?
The word "transitive" is not a verb, it's an adjective. A transitive verb is an action verb that has a direct object.
What must have a direct object?
A transitive verb takes a direct object.
What type of verb precedes a direct object?
The direct object normally follows the verb. The verb that precedes the direct object is not a specific type. A good way to see if the phrase following the verb is a direct object is to use the "passive test". Ex. Active voice: The pitcher threw the ball. Passive voice: The ball was thrown by the pitcher. Since we are able to make it passive we can see "the ball" is the direct object. One way I remember it is by asking "The pitcher threw what? The Ball"
What is the transitive or intransitive verb?
A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. Basically, the verb is transferred to the direct object. For example, in the sentence,"I flipped the mattress," flipped is the transitive verb; its direct object is mattress. The mattress received the action, flipped.An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require a direct object to make sense. "In the sentence,"I fell," fellis the intransitive verb, since it does not transfer its action to a direct object.ORif you are her from a question from apex try "It is a verb that needs an object to make sense" in simpler words
What is the transitive verb in this sentence. your mom drove the car as you sat in the passenger seat?
Intransitive verbs do not have a direct object. Car is the direct object of drove, so drove is a transitive verb. Sat is the intransitive verb in that sentence.
