It's possible you're thinking of one of these verb types:
* Transitive verbs: These verbs require a direct object to complete their meaning. Examples:
* "The dog chased the ball." (The verb "chased" needs the object "ball" to make sense.)
* "She wrote a letter." (The verb "wrote" needs the object "letter" to make sense.)
* Intransitive verbs: These verbs do not require a direct object. Examples:
* "The baby slept." (The verb "slept" makes sense on its own.)
* "He ran quickly." (The verb "ran" makes sense on its own.)
* Ditransitive verbs: These verbs take both a direct object and an indirect object. Examples:
* "She gave her friend a gift." ("Gift" is the direct object, and "friend" is the indirect object.)
* "He taught his students the lesson." ("Lesson" is the direct object, and "students" is the indirect object.)
It's important to note:
* The term "transitory" might be used in a specific context or field of study that you haven't specified. If you provide more context about where you encountered this term, I can help you understand its meaning better.
* If you're unsure about a grammar term, it's always best to consult a reliable grammar guide or dictionary.
