An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require a direct object to complete its meaning in a sentence. It typically conveys an action or state performed by the subject without acting on an object.
For example, in the sentence “She sleeps,” “sleeps” is an intransitive verb. Intransitive verbs answer the question “What is the subject doing?” and they stand alone, not needing a direct object to make sense.
They are essential in constructing sentences where the focus is on the subject’s action or state rather than its interaction with an object.
