   How do you identify a transitive verb?

   • The easiest method to identify a transitive verb is to find the direct object. Remember that transitive verbs need a direct object to form complete sentences, so if there’s no direct object, the verb is intransitive (or used incorrectly). See what we mean with the examples below.

   How do you know if a sentence is transitive or intransitive?

   • If you’re unsure whether a verb is transitive or intransitive, try rephrasing the sentence in the passive voice (i.e., make the object of the original sentence the subject of the new sentence). Intransitive verbs do not take an object, so if you can rewrite the sentence in the passive voice, it definitely contains a transitive verb.

   Can an intransitive verb have a direct object after it?

   • Intransitive verbs cannot have a direct object after them. The subject is doing the action of the verb and nothing receives the action. An intransitive verb does not pass the action to an object. He arrived. Here we cannot have an object after the intransitive verb arrive. You cannot “ arrive something” (incorrect).
