I think you mean <u>transitive</u> or <u>intransitive</u>, right?

Transitive verbs can have direct objects after them; intransitive ones cannot.

Jack ate the hamburger.
("ate" = transitive; "hamburger" = direct object)

I was so surprised that I nearly fell over.
("fell" = instransitive; no direct object)

Read that sentence again and see what you find. Is there a direct object there? If so, what's the verb?
