TELLING INTRANSITIVE FROM TRANSITIVE VERBS
——————-
A transitive verb is one that describes a subject acting on another object, for example “taberu”:
りんごを食べた。
I eat an apple.
An intransitive verb does not act on another object but describes an action of the subject itself, for example “okiru”:
朝5時に起きた。
I get up at 5 in the morning.
