Transitive/Intransitive Verbs
We call transitive verb a verb that is accompanied by an object complement. A verb is said to be transitive direct when it is a direct object complement and transitive indirect when it is an indirect object complement. In the latter case, we often have a preposition (à, de, par, pour, sans, sur...).
- Il parle avec lui
He talks with him
- Jean récite un poème
John recites a poem
We call intransitive verb on the contrary a verb that has no object complement. The meaning of the intransitive verb then only concerns the subject. Some verbs are by nature always intransitive: aller, arriver, courir, venir, pleurer, nager, voyager...
- Il a neigé pendant des jours.
It snowed for days.
- Il a déjà mangé.
He has already eaten.
