Transitive construction refers to a grammatical structure where a verb requires a direct object to complete its meaning. In this construction, the action of the verb is transferred from the subject to the object. For example, in the sentence "The cat (subject) chased (verb) the mouse (direct object)," the action of chasing is directed towards the mouse. In contrast, intransitive verbs do not take a direct object, as in "The cat slept." Understanding transitive constructions is essential for grasping sentence structure and improving language skills. Common transitive verbs include eat, see, and give, all of which need an object to convey a complete thought.
