towel olive 16 Transitive and intransitive

Verbs that have (or can have) an object are called transitive verbs.
Verbs that cannot have an object are called intransitive verbs.

Expressions (usually near the end of a sentence) that tell us where, when, or how the action of the verb takes place are not objects.

towel olive 16Tom [fell]_verb [down the stairs]_where.

You can push someone down the stairs, but you can't fall someone down the stairs.
