|
|
Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not take a direct object.
|
|
[ example: I **stand**. “*Stand*” is an intransitive verb in the sentence: "I stand."]
|
|
|
|
Most verbs in the passive tense will be intransitive, but there are a few exceptions.

Verbs may be classified as :ref:`Transitive<verb_transitive>` , **Intransitive**, or :ref:`Linking<verb_linking>` .
|
|
Linking verbs may also be referred to as *equative* verbs.
|
|
|
|
Transitive verbs require an object for the action of the verb. The object may be stated or implied. The action of the verb
|
|
is carried over into (or onto) an object of the verb. Therefore, transitive verbs will always have an object for the verb.
|
|
|
|
*Intransitive verbs* do not take an object.
|
|
The verbal idea of the verb determines if a verb is *transitive* or *intransitive.*
|
|
Intransitive verbs may appear in the active, middle, or passive voice. Although most verbs in the passive voice are
|
|
intransitive, there are a few instances where a verb in the passive voice is transitive.

Mk 5:36
|
|
...,μὴ,**φοβοῦ**,μόνον,**πίστευε**.
|
|
...,mē,**phobou**,monon,**pisteue**.
|
|
[Do],not,**you fear**,only,**you believe**
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Do not* **fear**, *only* **believe!**
|
|
|
|
[Note: in this sentence both *φοβοῦ* and *πίστευε* are intransitive verbs.]
|
|
|
|
Some verbs can be transitive in one sentence and intransitive in another sentence.
|
|
πίστευω is a verb which was intransitive in the preceding example, but is transitive in the following example.
|
|
Generally passive verbs are intransitive, but this is not always the case.
|
|
|
|
The following is an example where πίστευω is transitive. The sentence starts in verse 4 and ends with verse 7.
|
|
The table below omits most of the sentence in order to place the subject and verb together.
