Hi Rahul, Simply, a transitive verb requires a direct object that receives some sort of action. I mail a letter . The letter is mailed.

Hi Rahul,

I mail a letter. The letter is mailed.

I kick a ball. The ball is kicked.

I read a book. The book is read.

An object will be a "what" so you would have to say "What did she X?" to ask a question about a sentence using a transitive

in this sentence ....

Adam consented to the eating of the fruit .

is 'consented' a transitive verb or an intransitive verb..

I think it's transitive verb as it has an object 'eating'

No, it's intransitive.

Compare this: Adam considered eating the apple.

What did Adam consider? Eating the apple.

But with "Adam consented to eating the apple" you can't say "What did Adam consent?" You'd have to say "What did Adam consent TO?
