  Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold:   Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said, "What writest thou?"—The vision raised its head, And with a look made of all sweet accord, Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."   "And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so," Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then, Write me as one that loves his fellow men."   The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night It came again with a great wakening light, And showed the names whom love of God had blest, And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.   ~ Leigh Hunt   Summary- "Abou Ben Adhem" is a poem written by Leigh Hunt in 1834. It t...

In other words, it's an action that someone or something does to someone or something else. Think of it as an action that "transmits" from the subject (the doer) to an object (the receiver). Examples: 1.     She ate (transitive verb) pizza (object). ·          In this sentence, "ate" is the action, and "pizza" is what she ate. The verb "ate" needs an object (pizza) to make sense. 2.     He read (transitive verb) a book (object). ·          Here, "read" is the action, and "a book" is what he read. The verb "read" needs an object (a book) to complete the meaning.   Intransitive Verbs: An intransitive verb is a verb that doesn't require an object to complete its meaning in a sentence. It's an action that the subject does, but it doesn't tran...
