Transitive Verbs

Verbs : - These are words that refer to an action or a state of being. A sentence must have a verb or else it is incomplete. Along with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place. In fact, without a verb, full thoughts can’t be properly conveyed, and even the simplest sentences, such as Maria sings, have one. Actually, a verb can be a sentence by itself, with the subject, in most case you, implied, such as, Sing! and Drive!

Example : - She eats chocolate cake on Sundays . Here , eats is a verb as it tells about the action performed by noun or pronoun .

Transitive verbs : - Words that require an object to complete the action are called transitive verbs. All transitive verbs have a direct object to which an action is passed on in the sentence. These verbs are said to be used transitively.

Example : a. Mother baked some cookies.

                 b. I drink milk in the morning.

Note- In the give sentences, the verbs baked and drink need the objects cookies and tea respectively, to make complete sense. They answer the questions- What or who. Hence they are transitive verbs.

In the question

1. Alex __________ a postcard from Argentina. In this sentence , the correct form of verb that can be placed in the blank part is sent as the subject (roshan ) performs an action, and there is an object (best friend )  that receives the action. The direct object answers the question, "What?" or "Whom?" And, without the use of a direct object, the sentence would make no sense.

2. Minna ___________ Joe when the teacher turned .  In this sentence , the correct form of verb that can be placed in the blank part is hit as the subject (minna) performs an action, and there is an object (joe )  that receives the action. The direct object answers the question, "What?" or "Whom?" And, without the use of a direct object, the sentence would make no sense.

3. Alicia ____________ the dishes after dinner . In this sentence , the correct form of verb that can be placed in the blank part is washed as the subject (alicia ) performs an action, and there is an object (the dishes )  that receives the action. The direct object answers the question, "What?" or "Whom?" And, without the use of a direct object, the sentence would make no sense.

Thus , the Correct Option is C , which is 1. Sent 2. Hit 3. Washed .

Transitive verbs: Words that require an object to complete the action are called transitive verbs. All transitive verbs have a direct object to which an action is passed on in the sentence. These verbs are said to be used transitively.

For example:

 I drink milk in the morning.

The verb "Drink" requires an object ("milk"). It is necessary to state what the speaker drink in morning..

In the Question:-

Alicia _____ the dishes after dinner.

 In this Question the correct verb that can be used is Washed.The verb "Wash" requires an object ("dishes"). It is necessary to state what the speaker did after dinner. Thus , Wash here is transitive verb. Washed here is used instead of wash as the action is already done in past.

Thus, the correct option is A, which is washed.

Ditransitive verbs : - Ditransitive verbs require two objects—a direct and indirect object. An indirect object is a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that signals what or who receives the direct object.

For example:

"I'm lending John the book,"

“John” is the indirect object, and the book is the “direct object,” as John is the one receiving the item.

In the Question:-

My dog___ carrots off the floor. .

 In this Question the correct verb that can be used is Ate.The verb "Eat" requires an object ("floor"). “carrot” is the indirect object, and the floor is the “direct object,” as dog has eaten carrot from floor.

Thus, the correct option is D, which is Ate.
