What is a Transitive Verb?
Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning. In simple terms, they are verbs that need something or someone to receive the action. For example, in the sentence "She reads a book," the verb "reads" is transitive because it acts on the direct object "book."
