The terms “transitive” and “intransitive” refer to whether or not verbs are followed by a stated direct object in a sentence. A verb functioning as a transitive verb will always have a direct object following it, as in these examples. Most verbs in English function transitively, but some, such as “ache” and “comply,” only.
