Answer 1

An INTRANSITIVE verb has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity like arrive, "go," "lie," "sneeze," "sit," "die," etc. Second, unlike a transitive verb, it will not have a direct object receiving the action.

For example:
"We ARRIVED at the classroom door with only seven seconds to spare."
"James WENT to the campus cafe for a burger."

A TRANSITIVE verb has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity. Second, it must have a direct object, something or someone who receives the action of the verb.

Sylvia kicked Juan under the table.
Kicked = transitive verb; Juan = direct object.

Joshua wants a smile from Leodine, his beautiful but serious lab partner.
Wants = transitive verb; smile = direct object.

Answer 2

So its Transitive.

Answer 3

if you think it is transitive...and transitive verbs must have direct objects...then what is the direct object in that sentence ?
