Transitive - Intransitive Verbs

🔹 Transitive Verbs (सकर्मक क्रिया)

A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning.

Structure: Subject + Verb + Object

Examples:

1. She reads a book.
   वह एक किताब पढ़ती है।
   ("reads" is a transitive verb – it needs the object "book")

2. He kicked the ball.
   उसने गेंद को मारा।
   ("kicked" is a transitive verb – it needs the object "ball")

3. They ate rice.
   उन्होंने चावल खाए।
   ("ate" is transitive – object is "rice")

🔹 Intransitive Verbs (अकर्मक क्रिया)

An intransitive verb does not require an object. It makes complete sense by itself.

Structure: Subject + Verb

Examples:

1. She sleeps.
   वह सोती है।
   ("sleeps" is intransitive – no object needed)

2. He runs fast.
   वह तेज दौड़ता है।
   ("runs" is intransitive – it describes an action, no object)

3. They laughed loudly.
   वे ज़ोर से हँसे।
   ("laughed" is intransitive – no object)

🧠 Quick Tip to Identify:

• Ask: "What?" or "Whom?" after the verb.

  • If the answer exists → Transitive

  • If no answer → Intransitive

Example:
He plays cricket. (Plays what? – cricket → Transitive)
He plays well. (Plays what? – no answer → Intransitive).
