● Transitive verbs take direct objects : subject + verb + object

Transitive verb is a verb followed by an object

subject transitive verb objective

Doris made a cake.

Luc finished his homework.

U3-P9
Only transitive verb can be used in the passive

A cake was made by Doris.

● Intransitive verbs have two characteristics.

First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity like arrive,
go, lie, sneeze, sit, die, etc. Second, unlike a transitive verb,
it will not have a direct object receiving the action.
