A transitive verb is a type of verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning in a sentence. The direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.
Examples of transitive verbs:
1. She ate an apple. (The verb "ate" requires the direct object "apple" to complete its meaning.)
2. He kicked the ball. (The verb "kicked" requires the direct object "ball" to complete its meaning.)
3. They bought a new car. (The verb "bought" requires the direct object "car" to complete its meaning.)
4. We read a book. (The verb "read" requires the direct object "book" to complete its meaning.)
5. The teacher assigned homework. (The verb "assigned" requires the direct object "homework" to complete its meaning.)
In each of these examples, the transitive verb cannot stand alone and needs a direct object to make sense in the sentence.
