Verbs can be classified as transitive or intransitive. Transitive verbs have or need an object to make complete sense. Examples: She broke the window. (Here, the verb ‘broke’ needs the object ‘window’ to make complete sense.) She is going to the market. They will be arriving tomorrow.
Intransitive verbs do not need an object to make complete sense.
Examples:
She reads.
(Here, the verb ‘reads’ does not require any object to make complete sense.)
