TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE VERBS 🕘

Transitive verbs are action verbs that have an object to receive that action. They transfer the action from the subject (the person or thing that does the action) to an object (the thing that has the action done to it).

Formula: 

Subject + transitive verb + object 

       I     +          love         +   you!

How can you know if a verb is Transitive and needs an object? 

Besides the use of a dictionary, use this simple trick:
If the idea that you want to explain in English can answer the questions "Who?" or "What?", your verb is transitive!

Intransitive verbs are the ones that do not have an object receiving the action. Usually, intransitive verbs are verbs that have to deal with movement of bodies or things  through space ( the environment). So they often instead of taking an object they use prepositional phrases, adverbs or nothing at all.

If you ask "Who?" or "What?" and there is not an answer to the question that means that there's not an object, ergo, an intransitive verb!

Formula: 

Subject + intransitive verb

    He    +     ran 

 *Even if the sentence is followed by "across the street" it still doesn't answer the question who or what.

♍This topic is quite easy once you get the hang of it, having in mind the tip of "Who" and "what" and practicing constantly is the key! IMO, grammar is not the most exciting or fun part of learning but I know the importance of it. For that reason you need to practice extremely often, to not forget things and to reassure yourself of what you know!
