Transitive and Intransitive verbs

A verb can be described as transitive or intransitive. A transitive verb needs an object to understand its sense. An intransitive verb will make sense without an object, you can get complete thought without using an object. Some verbs may be used both ways.

Why do we need to understand transitive and intransitive verbs?

Which sentence has an intransitive verb?

An intransitive verb is defined as a verb that does not take a direct object. That means there's no word in the sentence that tells who or what received the action of the verb.
