A verb with a direct object is a transitive verb. It requires an object to complete its meaning in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I ate the apple," the verb "ate" is transitive, and "apple" is the direct object of the verb.
An intransitive verb does not require a direct object to complete its meaning, while a transitive verb requires a direct object to receive the action of the verb. For example, "sleep" is an intransitive verb in "I sleep," but "eat" is a transitive verb in "I eat food."
