Transitive Verb Form

Definition: In grammar, a transitive verb form is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning. It is typically used to describe an action that is performed on a direct object.

Example: The transitive verb form "eat" requires a direct object, so the sentence "He eats" would be incomplete. However, the sentence "He eats an apple" is grammatically correct as the direct object "apple" completes the meaning of the verb.

Usage: Transitive verb forms are commonly used in everyday language to express actions performed on people or things. They help convey a clear action and answer the question of "what" or "whom."
