Transitive verbs

A transitive verb is like a bridge that needs both ends connected to make sense. It requires an object to complete its meaning. This object is called a direct object because it directly receives the action of the verb.

Example: She eats an apple. (Direct object: apple)

Intransitive verbs

Intransitive verbs are independent – they don't need an object to express a complete thought. They can stand alone and still convey meaning.

Example: The sun shines.
