What is an "intransitive verb"?
An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require a direct object to complete its meaning. It can stand alone in a sentence and still convey a complete idea. Intransitive verbs describe actions or states that do not transfer action to an object. For example, in the sentence "She sleeps," the verb "sleeps" does not need a direct object to make sense. Other examples include "He runs," "They laughed," and "The sun shines." Intransitive verbs are important for constructing sentences that express actions or conditions without needing to specify an object.
