| What questions are to be asked to find if the sentence is Intransitive Verbs and Transitive Verb |
- Transitive Verbs:
| give | bring |
| lend | kick |
| offer | pay |
| pass | owe |
| read | make |
| want | cost |
| ask | give |
| paint | refuse |
- Intransitive Verbs:

Please note that most verbs can be used both as transitive as well as intransitive verbs. It is, therefore, better to say that a verb is used transitively or intransitively rather than that it is transitive or intransitive.
A transitive verb is a verb that denotes an action which passes over from the doer or subject to an object.
Example:
The mother fed the baby;
He filled up the form;
They enjoyed the party, etc.
An intransitive verb denotes an action which does not pass over to an object, or which expresses a state or being.
Example:
He ran a long distance;
The balloon burst in the sky;
Please keep quiet, etc.
