What are the examples of transitive and intransitive verbs?

Transitive Verbs:

* Action verbs that require a direct object. The direct object receives the action of the verb.

Examples:

* She wrote a letter. (The direct object is "a letter").

* He kicked the ball. (The direct object is "the ball").

* The dog chased the cat. (The direct object is "the cat").

* They built a house. (The direct object is "a house").

* I ate dinner. (The direct object is "dinner").

Intransitive Verbs:

* Action verbs that do not require a direct object. They express an action that is complete in itself.

Examples:

* The bird sang.

* The baby slept.

* The sun shines.

* He laughed.

* The train arrived.

Note:

* Some verbs can be both transitive and intransitive, depending on the context.

* Example:

* He ran. (intransitive)

* He ran a marathon. (transitive - "marathon" is the direct object)
