Intransitive Verb
The verb in a sentence is called an intransitive verb, when it acts with an adverb, preposition, adjectives, or other parts of speech present in a sentence. Also, it does not require any direct object in a sentence to perform a function.
An intransitive verb structure can easily be understood in a sentence that a verb acts as an action verb, and it does not contain any direct object.
A prepositional phrase or an adverb can also be added after an intransitive verb to provide more information in a sentence.
An intransitive verb is either followed by a word or phrase, which answers the question of such word How?
For example,
Play, run, sleep, sneeze, continue, smile, arrive, happen, occur, walk, act, crawl, dance, fly, left, explode, peep, etc., are called intransitive verbs.
Note: A subject and an intransitive verb together can make a sentence.
