Group 2: Transitive and Intransitive Verbs

1. 
   Transitive verbs denote an action, which passes over to some person or thing, expressed by an object.
   
2. 
   Unlike in Russian or Ukrainian languages where they can be followed only by direct objects, in English they can be followed by all kinds of objects:
   

1. 
   a direct object,
   

e.g. Peter is planting a tree.

I enjoy reading books.

2. 
   a direct + indirect object,
   

e.g. Mary sent her sister ( indirect object) a letter (direct object).

3. 
   a prepositional object,
   

e.g. Mrs. Green looks after her neighbours’ children.

3. 
   Intransitive verbs do not need any objects to complete their meaning,
   

e.g. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Time flies fast.

4. 
   Many English verbs can be either transitive or intransitive according to the context, in which they are used,
   

e.g. Little Mary is writing a letter to her friend. (transitive)

Look, Mary is writing very neatly. (intransitive)
