You have to tell us what the underlined verb is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think? ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And yes, that too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the underlined verb is shut

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think b

OpenStudy (conqueror):

I think not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, nope =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take another guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh it's transitive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Transitive verbs have an action followed by a direct object. Shut is the action, followed by door, the direct object.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Intransitive means it is not relative to a direct object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Yes, and a direct object receives the action, which is the verb.
