Adalyn · Answer 1

Verbs can be tricky things, and the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs often confounds even the best grammar students and writers. An intransitive verb is simply defined as a verb that does not take a direct object. There's no word in the sentence that tells who or what received the action.

Aron · Answer 2

An intransitive verb does not direct action toward anyone or anything named in the sentence.
