Question

OK so in a sentence if you have an indirect object do you have to have a direct object. if it doesnt have one can you still call the sentence transitive? please help i have to correct this whole paper.

Answer 1

A transitive verb has a direct object that it does something to.
Jim kicked the ball. verb: kicked. direct object: the ball. Therefore the verb is transitive.
If there is only an indirect object, it is intransitive. She waved at me. verb:waved indirect object: at me. She waved her stick at me. Verb: waved. direct object: her stick. indirect object: at me. Hope this helps.
