Read each sentence then write each transitive verb. if a sentence has no transitive verb(direct object) write none.
Example: Jamie watered the plants in the sunroom. Answer: watered transitive
1. Molly hammered the final nail hammered Transitive
2.The snow piled up in the yard. none
3.Lawrence petted the floppy eared dog. petted transitive
4.Reporters asked questions after the press conference. asked transitive

7. love transitive
I dont know 10 is it none?
- English - Ms. Sue, Monday, October 8, 2012 at 8:14pm
7 is correct.
10 -- the verb is ran and you're right it is not transitive -- so "none" is the right answer.

Can you explain how 10 is none and 7 isnt
- English - Ms. Sue, Monday, October 8, 2012 at 8:24pm
You can often find the direct object by asking WHAT after the verb.
7. I love -- WHAT? -- sunny days
Love is transitive since it has a direct object -- days.
10. Cheetah ran -- WHAT?
Ran is not transitive since nothing answers the question WHAT? There is no direct object.
