This receiver is called the direct object. Object recognition in sentences is an important skill.<\/p>\n<p>How to identify transitive verbs in sentences: Just ask &#8220;what?&#8221; or &#8220;whom?&#8221; after the verb.<\/p>\n<p>For example: &#8220;She reads a book.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask: &#8220;She reads what?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Answer: &#8220;a book&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>So &#8220;reads&#8221; is a transitive verb, and &#8220;book&#8221; is the direct object.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of common transitive verbs with sentence examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Carry: She carries a bag.<\/li>\n<li>Build: They built a house.<\/li>\n<li>Write: The boy wrote a letter.<\/li>\n<li>Teach: She teaches math.<\/li>\n<li>Buy: We bought groceries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are among the top 10 examples of transitive verbs used daily.
