In English grammar, articles are words that precede and modify nouns. They indicate whether a noun is specific or general. The definite article, "the," refers to a specific, known noun, while the indefinite articles, "a" and "an," refer to a general or unspecified noun.

English is not the hardest language, but it can be hard for some people. English Grammar is sometimes complex and it has strange grammar rules, many words sound the same but mean different things (like their, there, and they're), and spelling is not always how it sounds. These things can make it confusing.

Many verbs can be either transitive or intransitive, like "run," "eat," and "grow", “sings”. For example:
· She sings beautifully is Intransitive
· She sings a lullaby is transitive
Prepositional phrases or adverbs can follow intransitive verbs, creating the appearance of a direct object.
Some verbs are inherently intransitive, meaning they cannot be used with a direct object. These include "arrive," "go," "lie," "sneeze," "sit," and "die". For example:
· He arrived home at 5:30 pm.
· She is

Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. Let's take a look at different types of Intransitive Verb.
Types of Intransitive Verb | Description | Examples |
Action Intransitive Verbs | These verbs describe an action that is complete in itself and doesn't need an object to receive the action. | · Children are swimming in the pool · Meera runs faster than Myra. · The baby laughs a lot. |
Linking Verbs | These verbs connect the subject to a noun or adjective that describes or identifies it. They don't take a direct object, but rather provide more information about the subject. | · The CAT is sleeping. · She was completing her homework. · It feels cold tonight. |
Auxiliary Verbs | These are helping verbs that combine with other verbs to form tenses, moods, or voices. They can be used with intransitive verbs, but they don't change the intransitive nature of the verb. | · I have finished my work. · I do not like to swim. |
Modal Verbs | These verbs express possibility, necessity, or obligation. They can be used with intransitive verbs but do not change their intransitive nature. | · She can play the piano. · May I borrow your pen? · It might rain later. |
Stative Verbs | These verbs describe states of being, emotions, or opinions. Many stative verbs are intransitive, meaning they don't take a direct object. | · I understand the instructions. · I realize the mistake. · I know the answer. |

A Transitive Verb in English is a verb that cannot stand alone and needs a noun or pronoun to clarify what is being acted upon. It requires direct object to complete its meaning. For example: The dog chased the ball.
Unlike transitive verbs, intransitive verb does not require a direct object to complete its meaning. Common intransitive verbs include arrive, go, sleep, sit, die, disappear, exist, happen, live, laugh, sneeze, cough.
