    TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS


    Page: 66

    Let’s Get Started:

    Read these sentences. Can you spot the difference between the two?

    1. Jayant gave.
    2. Rahman sleeps soundly.
    All sentences have a verb and a subject. In both these sentences, there is a
    verb and a subject. However, while the first sentence makes complete
    sense, the second does not.
    A. Identify the verbs in each sentence and write if they are transitive or
    intransitive:
    1. Kirti is playing the harmonium. (Transitive)
    2. Everyone laughed loudly at his jokes. (Intransitive)
    3. The batsman hit the ball hard. (Transitive)
    4. We went to the bazaar for shopping. (Intransitive)
    5. The first bell rings at 7:00 a.m. (Intransitive)
    6. We played basketball in the playground. (Transitive)
    7. We have dinner at 9:00 p.m. (Transitive)
    8. Just taste this delicious cake. (Transitive)
    B. Underline the verbs in these sentences and identify them as transitive or
    intransitive. Then, circle the objects of the transitive verbs:
    1. The security guard opened the door.
    (Transitive; door: object)
    2. There is very little light in this lamp.
    (Transitive; light: object)
    3. Nawaz chose Simran as his partner for the science experiment.
    (Transitive; Simran: object)
    4. My mother has prepared pasta today.
    (Transitive; pasta: object)
    5. The lilies in Mrs Lesley’s garden look beautiful.
    (Intransitive)
    6. We had never driven that far.
    (Intransitive)
    7. We are moving to Manchester next month.
    (Intransitive)
    8. This year, we will paint our house mauve.
    (Transitive; house: object)
    9. We will participate in the kite festival this year.

    11.Was Shirley absent yesterday?
    (Intransitive)
    12.Will you attend the annual function tomorrow?
    (Transitive; function: object)
    C. Circle the verbs in these sentences. Then, pick out the complements and
    identify them as subject complements or object complements:
    1. The quiz master was funny.
    (funny: subject complement)
    2. The farmers looked tired.
    (tired: subject complement)
    3. The principal selected Rajnish to be the school captain.
