Action Verbs Indicate action
Transitive vs. Intransitive • Transitive verbs show action and are always
followed by a direct object to receive the action. Example: Scientist invented the transistor in
1947.
• An intransitive verb is an action that is complete in itself and does not need an object Example: Telecasts for the public began in 1939.
