transitive and intransitive verb

[allei]

hi teachers!

Is there any special way on how to determine wether a sentence is transitive or intransitive verb?

thanks again

You could try asking, What do. . . ?, like this,

Verb: like <transitive>
What do I like? => I like food.

Verb: swim <intransitive>
What do I swim? => I swim . . . ???

Some verbs can be both transitive and intransitive. For example,

Verb: eat <transitive>
What do I eat? => I eat pizza.

Verb: eat <intransitive>
What do I eat? => I eat . . . ?? I just eat. That's all. It's a thing I do. For example, humans eat, sleep, and work. I, too, eat, sleep, and work.

Hope that helps.
