Study Notes
Transitive Verbs
- A transitive verb is a verb that takes an object, which receives the action of the verb.
- A transitive verb can take a direct object in a sentence, which is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.
Direct Objects
- To find the direct object in a sentence with a transitive verb, ask "What?" or "Whom?" after the verb to identify the receiver of the action.
- The direct object is the noun or pronoun that answers the question.
Examples of Transitive Verbs
- "She eats an apple" - "eats" is a transitive verb, and "an apple" is the direct object.
Indirect Objects
- An indirect object is needed with a transitive verb when the verb expresses an action that is directed towards someone or something.
- The indirect object is the noun or pronoun that receives what the direct object is.
- For example, in "She gives him the book", "him" is the indirect object, and "the book" is the direct object.
