A transitive verb carries action from the subject to the object. Transitive verbs always have an object -- a word that answers "What?" or "Whom?" after the verb. Examples of sentences with transitive verbs. The verbs are in bold face. The objects are underlined.
Joe hit the ball out of the park.
Mrs. Smythe told a story.
Our family has never seen Grand Canyon National Park
Intransitive verbs do not have objects. Examples:
The dog ran away.
Teachers work hard.
His brother enlisted in the Navy.

Hint... think of the "trans" in transitive. That means to move something across. trans-port, transfer, transact, transfigure, etc.
So the action moves from the subject to something else.
Subject -action-> noun.
