Intransitive complete verbs are action verbs. The boy laughed . My sister sneezed . My dog barked. Do you know that the prefix in- means not? That is a helpful tidbit when it comes to understanding this verb type. INSTANSitive complete verbs do NOT TRANSfer action to anyone or anything. They show action, but they are complete all by themselves. Notice that the boy didn't laugh something, and he was not laughed. That would be strange....
You're likely quite shocked to discover that action verbs show action. Okay, you probably already guesses that. The question is, do you know what kinds of actions they show? An intansitive verb doesn't transfer its action to someone or something. There is one type of intransitive action verb: intransitive complete verbs. A transitive verb transfers its action to someone or something. There are two kinds of transitive verbs: transitive active and transitive passive.
