Doesn't transitive have to have a direct object?

Answer 4

yes , here "long "is direct object

Answer 5

lol no @Learner11 long is an adverb

Answer 6

This is obviously intransitive.

Answer 7

Long is describing the verb, so it is an adverb which can't be a direct object.

Answer 8

@countonme123 That was a bit rude. People make mistakes.

Answer 9

but the sentence is also make sense without the " for the delivery" part . But if we delete the word "long" then there is no sense and the sentence will need a object .

Answer 10

The sentence makes complete sense without the adverb.

Have you waited for the delivery?
