A sentence with a transitive verb has a subject, a verb and a direct object. Mark is writing a letter. Subject : Mark Verb : writing Direct object : letter. More examples : Mark is playing football. I have made a sandwich. Jane is drinking a cup of coffee. Therefore the verb is transitive.
Therefore the verb is intransitive. There is no direct object. Ditransitive verbs are a special type of transitive verb. They can have two objects — a direct object and an indirect object. An indirect object indicates the person or thing that receives the direct object.

The object in the sentence can be a noun, noun phrase, or a pronoun. The object can be direct or indirect. A direct object is not a subject complement, this means that the object does not describe the subject. In sentences with transitive verbs, the subject performs an action verb and the object receives the action. The object that follows the verb answers the question Whom? An intransitive verb is a verb that expresses action without using an object.
Therefore, there is no object that receives the action in a sentence. An intransitive verb may be followed by an adverb or a prepositional phrase but it cannot be followed by a noun, as the noun in the sentence would become the object in the sentence.
