Unit 23: Transitive Verbs and Direct Objects

Understanding Transitive Verbs

A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being. An action verb describes physical or mental action, such as run, think, eat, or decide. Action verbs can be divided into two categories: transitive and intransitive.

A transitive verb is anaction verb that requires the use of a direct object to complete its meaning. It transfers action from the subject to something else. Without a direct object, the sentence might not make complete sense.

A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. To find the direct object, find the verb and ask “Whom?” or “What?”.

Example: Tana loves her grandparents.
Verb: loves
Ask: Loves whom?
Answer (Direct Object): grandparents.

An intransitive verb does not need a direct object. It may be followed by an adverb or a prepositional phrase, but not a direct receiver of the action.

Exercise 1: Identifying Transitive Verbs and Direct Objects

Read each sentence. Underline the transitive verb and circle the direct object. (Ask what? or whom? after the verb to help you).

1.Grandpa collects coins from around the world.

2.He tells the history behind each coin.

3. He also builds miniature sailboats in his workshop.

4. On Sunday, he showed his latest masterpiece to Tana.

5. Grandma writes delightful poetry for children.

6. She sends her verses to all her grandchildren.

7. They enjoy reading the poems aloud.

8. Tana memorizes her favorite rhymes quickly.

Exercise 2: Transitive or Intransitive?

3. Tom’s audition began shakily. (___)

4. He got the lead role in the play. (___)

5. He memorized his lines in no time. (___)

6. They rehearsed every day after school. (___)
