Transitive Verbs Expresses action toward a noun. The action passes from the doer (subject) to the receiver The word that receives the action of a transitive verb is called a direct object. EXAMPLE: The monkey entertained Zach. *Think…entertained what/who? . . . Zach, so Zach is the direct object.
Intransitive Verbs Tells something about the subject. There is no one or nothing receiving the action. EXAMPLE: Mr. Doodle crowed. *There is nothing receiving the action crowed, so crowed is INTRANSITIVE. Hint: If the sentence is intransitive, there is no direct object.
