Is started a transitive or intransitive verb?

"Started" is a transitive verb when it has a direct object, and an intransitive verb when it doesn't.

Here's how to tell:

* Transitive: The verb has a direct object, the thing that receives the action.

* Example: "He started the car." (The car is the direct object)

* Intransitive: The verb doesn't have a direct object.

* Example: "The party started at 8pm." (There is no direct object receiving the action of starting)
