Can you give an example of a verb that can be used in both transitive and intransitive forms?
Certainly! One example of a verb that can be used both transitively and intransitively is “run.”
Verbs That Can Be Used in Both Transitive And Intransitive Forms
Transitive Form: “She ran a marathon last year.” (Here, “ran” is used with a direct object, “a marathon .”)
Intransitive Form: “He runs every morning.” (In this case, “runs” does not have a direct object.)
This flexibility makes “run” a great example of a verb that can serve both functions, depending on how it’s used in a sentence.
