This lesson delves into the distinctions between transitive and intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs require an object to complete their meaning, such as in the sentence, "The batter hit the ball." In contrast, intransitive verbs do not act upon an object, as demonstrated by "The bird sang." This guide provides examples of both types of verbs and includes practice exercises to enhance understanding. Mastering these concepts will aid in refining your grammar skills and writing clarity.
