Transitive andIntransitive Verbs

Every sentence has a subject and a predicate In some sentences thepredicate consists of only an action verb

The punter kicks

Usually sentences provide more information The predicate oftennames who or what received the action of the verb

102 Transitive and Intransitive Verbs 401

In the sentence above football receives the action of the verb kicksIt answers the question what after the action verb Football is called adirect object

A direct object receives the action of a verb It answers the ques-tion whom or what after an action verb

A verb can also have a compound direct object That is it can havemore than one direct object

The team carried gloves and bats into the stadium

Sometimes the action verb does not have a direct object

The team played well

In the sentence above well does not answer the question whom orwhat after the verb played Therefore it is not a direct object Actionverbs that have direct objects are called transitive verbs Action verbsthat do not have direct objects are called intransitive verbs

A transitive verb has a direct object

An intransitive verb does not have a direct object

events4 Many athletes perform well in a variety of events5 Hurdle races challenge

Verbs with Indirect ObjectsNouns or pronouns that answer the question whom or what after

an action verb are called direct objects

Michael Jordan led his team to the championshipMichael Jordan tossed the ball

An indirect object answers the question to whom or for whom anaction is done

103 Verbs with Indirect Objects 403

to whom

The helper gives the players towelsThe helper gives the towels to the players

You can figure out that in the first sentence players is theindirect object First it comes before the direct object Secondits position can be changed to follow the word to
