    The key takeaways are the differences between transitive and intransitive verbs, and how some verbs can be both depending on how they are used in a sentence.

    A transitive verb requires an object to receive the action, while an intransitive verb does not have an object receiving the action and the sentence may end with just the verb, an adjective, or an adverb.

    Many verbs can be classified as both transitive and intransitive depending on how they are used in a sentence. For example, 'read' is transitive in 'We read the news' because it has the direct object 'news', but intransitive in 'We read until late at night' because there is no object.
