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.
