Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lessons the students should be able to:
a. Differentiate transitive verb and intransitive verb
b. Participate actively in the class discussion
c. Create sentences using transitive verbs and intransitive verbs

II. Subject Matter:

Topic: Transitive and Intransitive Verbs
Reference:
Materials: Instructional Materials, Laptop, Marker, Etc.

III. Procedures:
A. Preliminary Activities:
Prayer
Greetings
Checking of Attendance
Classroom Management

B. Motivation: “Lights, Camera, Action!”

Directions: The teacher will pick a name of a student. Once the student has
been called, he or she will go to the front and pick a paper inside the box. The paper
has a word in it, the chosen student in front will act out the word he or she picked
and the remaining students on their seats will be the ones to guess the word. If the

C. Discussion:
Transitive and Intransitive Verb
Verb – is a word that conveys an action, an occurrence, or state of being.
An action verb can be transitive or intransitive.
 An action Verb is transitive if it directs action towards someone or something
named in the same sentence.
- The receiver of the action of a transitive verb is called the object of the verb.
Example: Pat dropped her books.
- In the sentence, books is the object of the verb dropped.
Other Example:
- Please bring coffee
- The girl carry water to their village.
- Juan threw the ball.
- I caught a cold.
- She loves rainbows.
- Lila conveyed the message.
Each of the verbs in these sentences has objects that complete the verbs action.
 An action verb is Intransitive if it does not direct action towards someone or
something named in the same sentence.
-Intransitive verbs, however, have no objects. The action is not directed toward
anyone or anything.

Example: The temperature fell quickly.

They jumped.
The dog ran.
She sang.
A Light was shining.

None of these verbs require an object for the sentence to make sense.

Transitive or Intransitive? To determine whether a verb used in the sentence is

transitive or intransitive, ask who? Or what? After the verb. If you can find
the answer in the sentence, the verb is transitive. If you cannot find the
answer, the verb is intransitive.
Transitive Intransitive
Felipe met him at school. Alice left for dinner.
Met who? Left what?
“Him” “No answer.”
Both Transitive and Intransitive. Most action verbs can be transitive in one sentence and
intransitive in another. These are called ambitransitive verbs.
Transitive: Bill reads science fiction books.
Intransitive: Bill reads every night before going to bed.
Sometimes, the meaning changes depending on whether the verb is transitive or
intransitive.

Example:
 He runs along the beach every morning.
Intransitive: Run – The action/Sport
 He runs a small grocery store.
Transitive: Run – manage
 The plane will make take off in five minutes.
Intransitive: Take off – to leave the ground.
 Please take off your shoes before entering the house.
Transitive: Take off – to remove something.
D. Evaluation:
Direction: There are list of transitive and Intransitive verbs posted on the board, all
you need to do is put them unto where they belong if it is transitive, intransitive or
both, then make a sentence out of it and based on how you labeled them. Then the
teacher will call some volunteers to share in front the sentences they have created
and check if the verbs are used correctly.
