    TRANSITIVE &

    INTRANSITIVE VERBS
    A
    verb can be transitive or intransitive depending on
    whether it is followed by a direct object.
    Some verbs are actions that are done to an
    object

     (The action of learning is done to
    something)

     These verbs are called INTRANSITIVE
