Question

True or false a transitive verb does not take a direct object

Answer 1

False. A transitive verb does take a direct object. Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning. For example, in the sentence "She kicked the ball," "kicked" is a transitive verb, and "the ball" is the direct object receiving the action. In contrast, intransitive verbs do not take a direct object.
