Is the underlined verb in the sentence transitive or intransitive? Did you cough loudly? A. transitive B. intransitive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be intransitive because a transitive verb has at least one direct or indirect object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I Do! lol! The Intransitive Property as stated above is your answer. Here is an example Boiled is intransitive in “My blood boiled” but transitive in “I boiled some water.” Intransitive is A verb that has has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity like arrive, go, lie, sneeze, sit, die, cough, etc. Second, unlike a transitive verb, it will not have a direct object receiving the action.

So yes I do ''cough loudly'' do you wanna make something out of it?!?! ''No honey go back to sleep'' The Intransitive Property is any Verb like the ones I stated above that receives an action.

And whats there to be sorry for. Are you speaking to me or @kvboogie

sammixboo (sammixboo):

The 'Grammar Police' tag next to my username is actually a trophy. THere is a quote in the side note saying 'If you need help, call the Grammar Police.', so basically the Grammar Police Trophy is people who are good at grammar and can help you with most stuff in grammar, english, etc.
